Hakim Fuhad Mansaray Poet Rhyme

UNRAVELING THE SILENCE

We were made to believe
that silence, for a man, is relief
so we bottle it all up
even when our heartbeats stop.

We were shaped into robots
sponges for the world's troubles
soaking in pain and problems
as if endurance was our fate.

But truth is, there’s no strength in silence.
It only comforts for a moment
so I’m unraveling this silence
to exist after all this absence.

I’ll start by speaking up
by unlearning what was taught
breaking the cycle
and doing right by what I thought.
