Sigh-lence

What makes us more saddened, someone who screams their disapproval at us or the ones who never say anything at all, nothing?

You may call it the silent treatment, I call it poison. It gets introduced to your system, courses through your veins. It slowly reeks havoc among your mind and body, until eventually you’re the hollow lifeless shell of what you once were.

It’s a hard thing to swallow at first, usually it’s someone who doesn’t speak to you. The silence hurts like a dagger, but almost anyone can recover from a knife wound. But could you handle a firing squad? Many people at once who decide that you are not worth talking to?

We’ve all had those days where we just wanted someone, anyone to talk to, but they don’t have the time, they don’t answer, you get their voicemail, or worst of all... the dreaded 2 ring to voicemail, someone hit the ignore button...

So what are we to do when we’ve been cast out by our peers with only our thoughts to keep us company? The one thing we can do, work through it. You can keep trying to talk to the same people, speaking the most beautiful of words to them, but they’ll only fall on deaf ears.

When it comes down to it, you are not something that shall go to waste. Your words will be heard, your love will be given. Speak to ears that will listen, and hearts that will care. You owe it to yourself.
