Silence

Why is it when I’m quiet for a long while 

You ask if I’m okay

Or if I’m angry

Why has silence turned into a reflection of anger

I wish we could get to a point 

Where stillness 

Simply meant you were lost in thought 

Just thought

I wish my silence didn’t make you feel like something was wrong 

I wish it didn’t make you uncomfortable 

Silence is the lack of noise not the presence of anger

And trust me, when I’m angry you’ll feel it.
