Society's Configuration

A lover of peaceful, comfortable silence. 

People mistook her silence as boredom, an inability to connect. 

And so she adapted, Seeking words even when all needed was still, unwavering eye contact. 

Then one day, who mattered came. 

He understood her mind. An intimacy deeper than still waters. 

Told her she didn't have to say a word. 

He just wanted to feel her there. 

And now she struggles to go back to her original state. 

How she was,  before society configured her.
