Listen. I'm not silent. In fact, I'm immensely talkative. I have a loud mind that produces battalions of statements daily.
I am talkative.
Words egress from my lips like rivers flowing to vast seas. I speak of my aspirations, dreams, and visions for the future. I brag about my strengths and feats that I have achieved. I impart my knowledge and discoveries to the curious.
I am not silent.
I share my experiences and learnings to elicit self-reflection. I exclaim my inspirations and interests with much enthusiasm.
I was never silent.
I admit my weaknesses, insecurities, and fears with difficulties. I enumerate my quirks and oddities despite hesitating. I disclose my secrets and sins that marred me.
Why do you call me silent?
I elaborate my thoughts and my whims on the spot. I sing my favorite rhymes, lullabies, and songs that are more than just mellifluous melodies.
How can you call me silent?
I utter peculiar lines and cryptic metaphors in varying tones. I narrate stories of friendships, love, romance, and passion in diverse forms. I spit verses of hatred, greed, atrocity, and apathy with vehemence. I scream what's taboo, ******, unconventional, and abhorrent unabashedly.
There is absolutely no space in my mouth for silence. I am not silent and my lips are not closed. Your eyes are just covered, and you do not know how and when to listen.
