In the Shadows of my Silence

Jealousy is loud in silence,
Whispers dance on the ocean breeze,
They watch me from the corners,
But their envy brings no ease.
I’m out here, just minding my business,
With a heart full of grace and compassion,
Glowing, growing, in my own rhythm,
Finding joy in this space.
Giving God the honor, the glory,
For the blessings that I see,
Let them talk, let them murmur,
Their words won’t define me.
I’ll keep walking, steady and strong,
With faith lighting my way,
Shining bright like the morning sun,
Turning night into day.
For in my quiet times, I find my strength,
In my stillness, I rise and shine,
With every step, I’m moving forward,
Chasing my dreams to the highest glory of God.
So let them watch, let them wonder,
As I dance to my own tune,
In the symphony of my journey,
I’ll keep shining in the darkness of the night.
