why
is silence made so heavy?
something
so quiet should be
               weightless
and
not a burden
               frowned upon by the
masses.
there
is a constant
                               pressure
to
change. 

I
just can’t.
                               and I’m not
sorry.

You could tell me being quiet isn’t a bad thing, but years and years and a whole childhood of being told otherwise means I’d never believe you.
