Silent but loud


Most days They are silent Subtle Still. I hear them in conversations Between words Meant to be jokes. Some days The silence is too loud to ignore Like trees falling in the woods Then I get loudly reminded Of all eyes watching My every move Every little mistake Every decision I take. I get reminded of all High expectations on me
