Appeasing Another Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Whispers of silence intimating surrender to another's
opinions and orders is a giving up of self, in order
to appease another.

Standing up for oneself is seen as rebellion and anta-
gonistic, when it's only asserting what you want or think,
not always understanding this way of thinking, some people
end up abusing a person who's acting in this way.

Touching upon this in a conversation later on doesn't
always make things peaceful, feelings are hurt, one is
angered and resentful for the way things have turned out.

Yet, if a person hadn't tried bossing and ordering the
another around, things may have turned out differently
altogether.
