I Still Have That Doubt

Yes, I agree, there is not much space for silence

Often, I have to let go of that tranquil moment

Trading appropriate words; prices are too high

They feel uncomfortable due to the rushed deal

Unaware of my thoughts, whether they can adapt

To the new kind of stresses and aimless flow

Of my temperament and idiosyncrasies

I had to sacrifice silence to acquire the words

It could be a struggle to create a passage

Distinctly echoing my sentiments

Being comfortable with them, as I was with silence
