Art of Silence

 Silence is an art;

To be silent or to be silenced, some view it as internal warfare. 

Perhaps you're at war internally for fighting everyone else's battles. Not everyone can be saved, many are comfortable in the uncomfortable, happy in their own misery.

Many don't have what it takes to be different and live in their truth, they rather live in the lies they tell themselves and the falsehoods they've created. 

Silence is peace, it's not wasting your breath where you're unheard, it's not trying to change those who desire no change, its learning when to withdraw and take a step back before you get too personally involved in others' lives and ways of living. Letting the delusional live in delusion. 

Silence is humbling, it's self awareness- saving yourself and reaching for your own hand, healing yourself before being worried about what others do and how they choose to self-destruct. In a way, that's you also self-destructing and distracting yourself from doing so.

They say silence can eat you alive; to me it sets you free; the art of silence is the art of self-reflection and self-regulation. Who says you need to remain silent in your head anyways? In a world that self-expression is done in many alternate ways; art, poetry, tattoos, piercings, hair color, fashion sense, music and much more. Don't waste time expressing yourself to those who talk to hear themselves speak, who say words with no meaning, when you can create a world of your very own that you're heard, loved, and appreciated. Don't wait to be heard, when you're listening to yourself all the time; take the advice you'd give, appreciate yourself, you never needed any validation other than your own!
