Silent Voice

entry picture

A part of them wants to stop talking
But from another side within,
a different voice, calling…
“Dad, I’m tired”
“Mom, I just want to cry”
To their parents,
they want their voice to be heard.
But they choose to swallow it,
afraid of being a burden.
That child...
hides behind the name.. “an adult.”

Thanks, Yanma. I think perhaps the child in us is exposed when we are at our most vulnerable.
