Indecisive Silence

Has the sound of your own silence ever intimidated you?

Does the shrieking self-critiques leave ringing in your ears

and ambivalence in your actions?

Has the petrification of your own indecision

ever swallowed you whole and hugged you with the

suffocating esophageal warmth of isolation,

pushing down, down, down to an eventual

discarding of humiiation?
