Silence Is Still

I wish to not be among a population-

Whose everlasting wishes never come to completion. 

It is like I don’t want to be friendly with my old, silent self.

That used to capture hopes to hoard on a shelf. 

I will write a letter to all the unwanted. 

Who picture a future of being haunted. 

And instead I will face the wrath-

That exists nowhere except for our shared path. 

All I must do is thank the horizon for its reappearance-

That I shall shield myself from no longer- my future is a dance!
