Poem

The Double Bind


The sharpest words are often words unspoken –  
Hurt bestowed by a double bind  
—Bruised by silence.  

Wanton desire to be a double entendre –  
A quiet imprisoned reprieve  
—An empathetic, bound choice.  

My vote has been cast in restraint –  
In the still of the love I carry  
—Averting the cost of my voice.

Beata Agustin Date: 1/30/2026 3:26:00 AM Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
Grace A Gagnon Date: 8/26/2025 6:01:00 PM A reflection on the cost of silence, and the tenderness in choosing restraint for the sake of love — exploring the double bind, when defending yourself might wound someone else, and silence becomes the more compassionate choice.
