A week I went in silence
Refraining from all means of speech.
No one seemed to notice,
No one seemed to care,
For I still spoke,
I was still there.
I spoke not with words,
Only with action.
No one missed me for
I was not amiss, not even a fraction.
I spoke firm, loud, and clear.
Embraces and smiles,
I was still there.
A week I went with no words.
But I was not gone, I was not missed.
