Keep Quiet...
When we were younger adults forced us to keep quiet: laughing out loud please keep quiet, crying out loud please keep quiet, asking questions please keep quiet and so many instances where they told us to shut our mouths. At the start, we don't take them seriously and keep quiet for some moment then start again. Why do we have to be quiet? If you ask them then they will reply keep quiet otherwise people will think you are crazy. At a younger age, they put the belief in our minds that we have to care what others think. Keep quiet because everyone is judging. It was the summer of June, me and my siblings playing and messing with each other. So, we are laughing so loud and also creating chaotic moments. Keep quiet or otherwise I will come and beat the hell out of you both, my father replied. We quickly stop what we are doing and quickly run to study, our coping mechanism against our father's anger is let's open the book and start showing that we are learning. After reading, we ate and went to sleep. But our chaotic mind started laughing and playing again even in our bed. Dragging me out of bed separated me from the siblings and forced me to sleep in between mom and father. Life is quieter when trauma fills our hearts. After that day, I choose to keep myself quieter.
Don't eat loud, Don't speak while eating, Don't run, Don't waste your time in games, Don't cry, Don't laugh out loud, Don't argue with anyone, Don't fight with anyone, Don't and Don't. There are more don't and does. Days become darker and nights become nightmares. With each day, life gets tougher and I start keeping things to myself. If your open arms are open then your heart is in the most vulnerable position. It's easier for others to break it. Still, end up with broken hearts...don't let anyone hear the sound of a broken heart keep it quiet. Why some people are quiet? Because they don't think anyone cares enough to listen to them. So, they hurt in the light and bloom in the dark. They knew if you don't wanna hurt then keep quiet. Their dark mode is always on and their phone is always on silent. They care a lot and always show others.
Bring others joy and love, but can't let them enjoy it. Afraid to meet new people. Can't deal with society and easily see through human masks. Good observant and good listener. Easy to let go and harder to stay. Fake laugh and fake sarcasm. Self sabotaging and self-care. If you know them, let them be quiet because in their heart they found peace.
