Sometimes We Embrace Silence

Sometimes we embrace silence By Michelle Morris 13/08/2023 Sometimes we embrace silence Because no one wants to hear the truth It's easier to keep one's own counsel Than speak words that could be misconstrued For people aren't interested in the truth Only the spin of stories woven Like a spider in a silken web They'll trap the truth in all unspoken And we can be ostracized Our reputations may be destroyed But our enemies will have no victory For our light hearts and souls will soar Even if we don't experience it In our lifetime on this planet The truth will reveal it's purity And restore karmic balance And those who would destroy us Will feel the boomerang of their evil Even if they think they've won Their offspring will know their deeds Sometimes we embrace the silence Especially when we're tired of speaking out But one day history's truth will be uncovered And people will be forced to wake up © Michelle Morris, 2023

I love the truth in your lines, Michelle. There are some who go to great lengths to try and ruin a person's reputation, but only if we allow their rants and attempts to despoil us to be a stone thrown. Ignoring such people is not a simple matter, but it's the best way I've found to prevent their stones from wounding me. I relish silence.

Thank you for sharing your insights and advice. I have definitely experienced this and tried to do as you have. It's definitely a challenge. But walking away with your head held high and integrity intact takes the sting out of it a bit. Take care and stay safe. Best wishes that it never happens again. :-)
