Do not assume
Because I stay quiet
When you are angry
That I am weak

It takes far more strength 
To stay silent
Than it does to say
All the hurtful things on my tongue

Do not assume
Because I love you
With every fiber of my being
That I can’t live without you

I have lived 
After having my heart 
Ripped straight out of my chest
Multiple times

This is so true....

"It takes far more strength

Silence of course is taken as negative, arrogance, internal negative brooding and all of that in our society. It is never taken as courage, as a process of slowly digesting whats going around, of reacting in a better way than most.
