When The Silence
What We Need To Keep Us Away From The Edge
Just a few thoughts on how we feel at times,
Sometimes we really need quiet and time to ourselves.
Other Times We Need Company
I usually feel the latter, but actually have to make do with the former.

More Than Just Words
More than sweet words, I cherish the people who are willing to show up for me. The depth of a relationship isnโt determined by how many times we say, โLetโs meet up another day.โ Those seemingly warm words often go unfulfilled. Instead, it is the friend you donโt contact often, or even someone who lives far away, who quietly drives over the moment you say, โIโm a little tired lately.โ

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

I like this. Very easy to read and understand. It represents a multitude of emotions!!!
I can so relate to both kinds of need. For me, the quiet time alone is hard to come by, but I guess semi-quiet time with family is the next thing to it. I am sorry you are sick. Sore throat is the pits. You might want to gargle with some warm salt water and drink some warm chicken broth. That was always part of my mom's TLC when I got strep throat. Take care of yourself and get well โค๏ธโ๐ฉน soon!
Wonderful poem! I actually need both types of silence at different times.
Splendid silence slam poetry!!! Take care! (HUGS!) ๐ค๐๐
Self care for sure . The song good so well with the song choice โฅ๏ธ๐ฅฐI totally agree with the poem. I hope you feel better soon.
Yes!! That was so well done and exactly how I feel on many occasionsโboth the singing and the screaming. Loved it :)
This is incredible. Well done. Also, love that version of the song.
I'm an introvert who likes being left alone so I prefer the silence to sing instead of scream. Loved this brilliant poem!
