The Silence in Between (2021)

We don’t talk anymore. We avoid honesty to avoid facing our vulnerability. We avoid the conversation to avoid the repeated disappointment, confusion, anger and sadness. We put up masks, barriers and distractions. We lost faith in others that they will respect and listen to what we have to say. We let the passage of time and space guide us to where we want to be but we end up at the same place. We wish for a chance to talk, but somehow, we continue to let the silence sit in between us.
