I was once like a rainstorm,
Wanted my voice to reach every heart.
I always talked and talked,
How my light can break the dark.
I told everyone about things,
That happened throughout the day,
And when they thought I'm done talking
I suddenly had a lot more to say.
One day, I learnt to bite my own tongue,
And I became very calm.
I stopped spilling my secrets,
I would rather hold them in my palm.
Now I don't speak much,
And it's my silence that brings peace.
I listen to everyone with wonder,
As I try to fix them piece by piece.
But when I'm alone with my thoughts,
I feel something deep within me.
The misery that once bought me SILENCE,
Helped me to set my soul free.

Hummm we should be quick to hear and swift to talk. Just imagine that can of tongue bite that made u stop talking. Secrets shouldn't be shared with all.
Am glad you got the message... We shouldn't say everything we hear no matter what that thing is..
True, one often learns more by listening rather than speaking.

We often find our mockery later in our speech and in silence our state of mind suffers. We need to accept human nature and choose a way to be happy without mind their reactions.
I agree with you we tend to learn more when we listen than talk.
Nice one you've got there

Very cool poem, I loved it, because it is better to be king of your silence, than slave of your words.
