Silence...

Has become unbearable.

Pfft.

Most humans...

Have an unfortunate habit.

They can't sit...

In a booth...

By themselves.

Especially...

In silence.

Question.

When was the last time...

You listened...

To yourself speak...

Without an audience?

Interesting.

Apparently...

Some people...

Need a chorus...

Before they'll trust...

Their own voice.

Bruh...

Not because harmony...

Is beautiful.

Because solitude...

Has a peculiar habit.

It introduces you...

To your own convictions.

Those are not equivalent.

Interesting.

You can always tell...

Who's never learned...

To spit alone.

Question.

When the room empties...

Does your conviction...

Leave with it?

Or...

Does it remain?

There is a difference.

Apparently...

Some people...

Don't test their words...

Against silence.

They test them...

Against applause.

Interesting.

Agreement...

Has become...

The measurement.

Not truth.

Not integrity.

Not observation.

Applause.

Bruh...

That's when...

Harmony clusters...

Begin to form.

Not because everyone...

Arrived...

At the same conclusion.

Because agreement...

Feels considerably safer...

Than standing...

Alone.

Interesting.

Then...

The moment...

Someone establishes...

A boundary...

The choir arrives.

Not one voice.

Several.

Concern.

Advice.

Protection.

Empathy.

Love.

Interesting.

Question.

If it was truly...

Concern...

Why did it require...

An audience?

Why did everyone...

Need to agree...

Before anyone...

Examined the boundary?

Those are not equivalent.

Bruh...

Concern...

Has an unfortunate habit.

It can become...

Control.

Wrapped...

In softer language.

Interesting.

Love...

Doesn't become...

More truthful...

Because more people...

Repeated it.

Neither does...

Control.

Question.

If your conviction...

Requires...

An echo chamber...

To survive...

Was it ever...

Your conviction...

To begin with?

...

Spit.

Not with...

Your gang.

Not with...

Your choir.

Not with...

Your comments section.

Not with...

Your validation committee.

Spit...

Until silence...
