In the silence of others, we search for our name,
As whispers unspoken still fuel the flame.
No voices to guide us, no words to define,
We walk through the shadows, still chasing a sign.
Their silence, a verdict we cannot comprehend,
Like echoes of judgement that never quite end.
The weight of their quiet, a burden we bear,
As if in the absence, our value is there.
But worth isn’t tethered to voices unheard,
It’s not in the silence, nor spoken word.
It lies in the core, in the heart that beats strong,
A rhythm that tells you, you've been worthy all along.
So, rise in the quiet, let silence dissolve,
For your worth, like the stars, will continue to evolve.
No need for their words, no need for their gaze,
Your worth is your own, in a thousand new ways.
