why is it
unacceptable to speak my mind
when it is not normal to be silent
why is being silent
rude
condenscending
misconcepted ?
how can i have a middle
when i am stuck at extremes
when i am silent
i am not ignorant or slow to answer
when i am silent
i am indifferent
deaf to words that should affect
questions hold no meaning
when i am silent
it is defeat
it is offense
but when i am silent
it is the hardest move of all
