When I want to speak, I become silent
I try to find the words to break this silence
But what if all I have to say is silence?
Then does that mean I am honest or just frightened?
The truth doesn't always need to be expressed by words
Honesty is sometimes so deep
That its roots are not always found in words
So if I am silent, I can also speak the truth
A calm, peaceful truth expressed by a calm peaceful silence
That doesn't need you to understand or hear it to be the truth
