Reflect and Be Silent

No longer want to be an agent

Of dismissal and rejections

I rather reflect and be silent

Reach out in love and care

Cold shoulders, cold stare

Don’t understand, left confused

I rather reflect and be silent

When told my friendship doesn't matter

I avoid the tears and anger

Wish I had said something

Instead I reflect and be silent

When efforts are pushed aside

Try to hold my feelings inside

Frustration sets in

I have to reflect and be silent

Express my feelings through words

While reflecting in silence

Wondering if the best outcome

Is remaining quiet by keeping distance
