I am afraid that some day
I’d run out of things
to say out loud,
but every time
I begin to speak
I feel like as if
all the words
have been said before,
but I utter them anyway,
and feel bad
afterwards for speaking
against my better judgement;
maybe running out of
words to say out loud
wouldn’t be that
bad after all!

My two cents… Every perspective offers us a unique perception, no matter how many times we’ve looked from that exact advantage point before, so long as we remain open to viewing and interpreting newer possibilities. It never hurts to present what one has to offer based upon new experiences but there is always a loss when someone is silenced, even if by choice.

I sometimes am lost between what I said and what I think I should say. So I just keep quiet now. Fixes the problem. Lovely writing with much wisdom, Aaysid! 🙂
