Silence

Silence brings peace and bliss. Since childhood I believed in silence. But within last three years I had to face two situations, where I wanted to keep silence, but could not, as I was blamed for something which I had never done or would never do, and unless I speak up, nobody from my family or my near and dear would believe me. They forced me to speak.

My childhood thinking that silence is gold broke.

To save myself from wrong blames I had to speak.

My childhood thought broke.

Now for me, not speaking up for myself is like not standing up for myself.
