the moon, silent witness of the night, peeks through the dancing veils
stuck in these blankets, like second skin, holding me down
everything is suffocatingly still, swallowed by the void
insomnia feeds on the relentless ticking of the room
at last, time gives no grace.
@patallax You're confusing intentional presence with aimless noise. The post is about the courage to exist: you can't speak for something bigger than yourself if you haven't even found the courage to claim your own voice first.
Every word spoken is a refusal to disappear. Every word written is a commitment to being seen. The choice between silence and speech is, ultimately, a choice between fading away and claiming a space in the world.
