When you’re knee deep in a war you didn’t start
When the silent treatment is being hashed out as a ‘punishment’ over something you didn’t even do
When you remain silent about what’s happening only for the offended party to double down on ‘what’s right’ and how you’re ‘wrong’
And you’re put into a position where you’re ‘damned if you do, damned if you don’t’
So you go ahead and live how you choose
Silently doing you
Silently doing what’s necessary
Silently doing what’s right
Silently moving forward
Silently just ‘doing’
No fuss
No drawing attention
But refusing to back down
Just silent
