Silence is Golden

Silence is golden
That opportunity is golden
That peace is golden
Silence is golden
They always say this

Silence is golden
There are times it's very much needed
The time when you can't explain yourself
The time when words can't describe how you feel
The time when reality crawls in
The time when everyone changes before your very eyes
The time when you don't want to speak but keep everything in
The time when you are hurt by some actions and decisions of the one you cherished
The time when it's difficult
The time when staying away just looks good

Silence is golden
Maybe during these times
But, Silence can be pain

Silence is pain
Where you are hurt so bad yet you can't say it
When you have hoarded so much it becomes difficult to speak
Where you think things will change and get better but it keeps getting worse
Where the friends become enemies
Where your sacrifices are disregarded
When all seems wrong
When others see you as the enemy
When everyone thinks you betrayed them
The Silence will not be golden but pain

Its good to break the silence
Yet its difficult to let go of the Silence
It may be easy to speak up
It may be easy to explain how you feel
But it is definitely not easy letting go
It is definitely not easy when it is repeated
Silence is golden but some come with its pain

Silence is golden
However our emotions matter
Our smile is important
Our heart is important
Our mind is equally important

Silence is golden but can be pain
Be mindful of the Silence you pick up
Be mindful of what you say to others that create the Silence
Be mindful of your actions
They may not say it but they feel it
Be mindful when Silence becomes the norm
You, be equally mindful when your Silence begins

Silence is golden
But check if it's gold or pain
Take the step
Speak up, gradually let go
Healing is never a destination. It is a process
Gradually seek help
Tell your story
Create the right environment
And turn your pain to gold
Silence is golden
