Silence is My Strength


My silence is my strength

I hardly react vocally

My face tends to give it away

What I'm feeling or thinking

My silence won't be broken

By provocation or taunting

My words will be chosen carefully

Each word a double meaning

With an underlying significance

My strength comes from my silence
