We think staying still is harmless. But damage waits. We wanted the world to know our names No crowns, no shelter, just our will We failed where everyone could see We ran while every breath burned Knowing all along we could fall Silence feels safe from the inside Stillness lies, and we let it feel right We live inside what we built Call it comfort, call it weight We talk loud but never move Waiting until it feels safe enough No walls No guards Just comfort teaching us to pause Nothing hurts Nothing resists That’s how a life gets missed Silence feels safe from the inside The doors aren’t locked. They never were. It’s time to step inside.
