Silence

I’ll never understand why it has to be so hard - so hard to just tell someone how you truly feel. In all reality, what do we really have to lose? We’re already drowning in torment with bottled up emotions. But yet we all find it impossible to reveal our vulnerability. I suppose it’s simply the natural fear of rejection. But whether your status is silent or rejected, the pain still lingers either way. So why not be bold? Why not take a risk? Being rejected hurts but the knife will soon fall out and the wound will heal in time. But the real damage follows silence - sulking in daydreams, always left wanting more, wishing and hoping. The real pain lies in never knowing what could be but only imagining it. Waiting for something and falling for anything. Gripping on dreams and floating on untold promises. Why do we put ourselves through that? Being silent. Living among the sound of your own voice may seem easier but when that voice begins to lie to you and pull apart the seams of your once perfectly mended heart, it’s time - time to be bold. Take a risk. You never know - maybe your fear of rejection was pointless in the first place.
