It’s been a constant struggle, silence and I. The fear that an empty space might breed misunderstanding led me to dominate conversations, filling every pause.<\/p>\n
Silence.<\/p>\n
A canvas I painted with my need to prove understanding and superiority, avoiding any comparison with the rest.<\/p>\n
Silence.<\/p>\n
Yet, beneath the facade, a fear lingered \u2013 that scrutiny would unveil gaps in my knowledge.<\/p>\n
Silence.<\/p>\n
Pushing, probing, hoping you’d surrender what you’re avoiding.<\/p>\n
Silence.<\/p>\n
Why does your presence make me uneasy? Is it the unbearable uncertainty or the insecurity that fuels my fear?<\/p>\n
Silence.<\/p>\n
Confronting you or the worst-case scenario that binds me?<\/p>\n
Silence.<\/p>\n
Perhaps, it’s time to befriend you. Invite you in, sit with you, and be comfortable not just seeing, but feeling you deeply. Your true value lies within me.<\/p>\n
Silence.<\/p>\n
Less fear, more acceptance. Letting you guide me will give me confidence.<\/p>\n
Silence.<\/p>\n
