She Was Silent for 5 Years

A poem

She Was Silent For 5 Years

She was silent for 5 years
Well not totally
But her lips were zipped
Unless it was a few
Very close friends

She had no desire
To mingle

Chitchat
Say hi via text

Be in
Social media groups or circles.

She was silent yes
For 5 whole years

Ok she talked to her cats
And her boyfriend
And one or two maybe five close friends
But no family and

Not many strangers

Although a polite hello to the grocery clerk was fine

She didn’t go to a hairdresser
No that was too straining
They never listened and they’d mess it all up

So she stopped doin that.

If her man had someone over
She was safely
Alone in another room

Typing
Or reading a book

Or…or…

She survived
Being silent for

5 years.

It was her own private
Silent Retreat

And the cost of treatment
Was minimal.

Others talking talking

Yammering
Gossipping
Raging

Didn’t matter

Her silence
Was her safety.

Why don’t you go out and mingle more?
He asked
Wanting to push her out

She didn't feel it
She didn’t need to or want to budge.

She was silent

For 5 years.
