What is silence?
Is it when no one hears you,
Or when the world is too loud?
Like standing in a disco,
Music, laughter, voices collide—
Yet you remain unheard.
Or walking through open grasslands,
Where nature hums and animals call,
Yet your voice dissolves in air.
Is silence found in a crowd,
Where noise drowns your existence,
And you sink quietly into yourself?
What is silence—
A truth, or an illusion?

- Comment from author about the poem: My poem "Silence" questions whether silence is the absence of sound, or the feeling of being unseen and unheard. It contrasts external noise with internal stillness, showing how silence can exist in both solitude and in the middle of a crowd. The piece gently suggests that silence isn’t just quietness—it’s an illusion, a truth, and sometimes a reflection of our inner state. Silence isn’t always the absence of sound—it’s sometimes the absence of being heard.

A most unique view based on definition of words. A deep philosophical question in this poem. Nicely done
