Today, I was silent

Making no hay

The whole day

As the sun didn’t shine !

 

I was much broken

Don’t know, “Why ?”

But – I stayed silent

The whole long day…

 

I didn’t whine and cry

My eyes were purely dry

They didn’t shone in teary white

But – remained red all long night.

 

Today I was sad

But – I am glad

That I stayed silent

The whole day.

 

I didn’t cry and whine

I didn’t moan and complain

I just remained tight-lipped

Purely silent

In a pretty mess

Surviving a disastrous stress

The whole day.

 

I didn’t cry

I stayed silent –

The whole day.

 

And then, someone say,

“ How was your day ? ”

I simply say,

“ As good as it can be today ! ”.

Sometimes , we are sad ,

For what ? , we don’t know .

Sometimes , we are hurt ,

For what ? , we don’t realize

 

Overthinking mind and sensitive heart – dangerous combinations.
