Arrows of Silence

I’m gradually getting tired of
words and their futility—
having to express myself
one way or the other

Being misunderstood
and unable to understand

All these empty words—
shallow,
playing games on
every front
you can imagine

Perhaps I’m not
good with words

I may soon
run out of them

The only arrows left
in my quiver
will be silence—
in total alignment
with who I am
