Silent Chapters

  “Rise Through the Noise” They speak in echoes, they don’t see it all, Praise and shadow bouncing off the wall. But I feel the fire, steady in my chest, I’ll rise, I’ll shine, I’ll give my best. I’m the light that moves through the noise, Strong and gentle, finding my voice. Let the world spin, let the words fly, I am me, and that’s my sky. Hands that work, heart that cares, I’m more than whispers, more than stares. Through the doubt, through the fight, I carry my own quiet light. By Adarsh

“The Quiet Force” You are the pause between the echoes, The calm in voices that clash and whirl. Soft hands that work, a heart that feels, A mind that dreams in secret pearls. You are steady, even when the world spins, A quiet force, unnoticed by some eyes. Yet in your chest beats courage untold, A spark that no shadow can disguise. You see the mirrors people hold up, Some reflecting light, some reflecting blame. But you—you carry your own truth, A gentle fire that has no name. You are more than whispers, more than praise, A universe moving, quietly wise. Through every mixed word, every glance, You are your own sunrise. #TheQuietForce, #PoetryVibes, #SoulfulWords, #QuietStrength, #InnerCourage, #GentleFire, #SoftPower, #AestheticPoetry, #CalmEnergy, #SoftAesthetic, #MindfulMoments, #EmotionalWriting, #DeepThoughts, #WritersOfInstagram, #PoetsOfInstagram, #PoetryCommunity, #WritingCommunity, #SpokenWordPoetry, #OriginalPoetry, #BlogWriters

  The Way She Was There was a girl named Ayra. She had short hair that curled around her cheeks, large, observant eyes, and a soft, rounded face that rarely ever smiled. People often mistook her serious expression for sadness or distance, but Ayra wasn’t cold. In fact, she was one of the kindest people anyone could meet. She helped others without being asked. She paid attention to things most people overlooked. And when someone spoke, she listened — not just to their words, but to what they didn’t say. Her presence was quiet but comforting, like a gentle silence in a noisy world. People were naturally drawn to her. Something about her calm nature made others feel safe. New classmates, quiet strangers, even teachers found themselves wanting to talk to her, to sit beside her, to ask for help. And Ayra welcomed them. Always. She opened her heart slowly but sincerely, offering friendship, support, and trust. But it never lasted. Over time, the same thing always happened....

  Unsaid Words - Hungry for Something Else There was a small boy who liked eating a little more than usual — not because he was greedy, but because he believed good food carried magic . He didn’t know how to say it out loud, of course. He was only nine. But he felt it every time he took the first bite of his grandmother’s sambhar rice, or the crispy edge of dosa folded into a triangle, still hot from the iron tawa. His name was Rishi . Rishi didn’t speak much. Not because he was shy, but because no one in the house really asked him anything beyond “Did you do your homework?” or “Where are your slippers?” But when the food was good, he smiled more. He asked for seconds. Sometimes even thirds. And when no one was watching, he’d close his eyes while chewing — like he was listening to something inside the taste. His grandmother noticed. She always noticed. She never said much either. But she cooked extra when Rishi was around. A second ladle of ghee on his rice. A smalle...

  The Vanishing Hour The Missing Shift Dr. Neha Verma had worked the night shift at Hospital for three years. The hospital was usually quiet at night, except for the usual emergencies. She knew the routine well: check vitals, update charts, calm patients, drink too much coffee. One Monday morning, Neha noticed something strange. Her shift log — the big book where all night staff signed in and out — had a blank page for Sunday night. She flipped back. Friday’s page was full. Saturday’s too. But Sunday night had no names. No notes. Nothing. Neha frowned. She remembered clearly working that shift. Checking on patients. Writing notes. Talking to the security guard around 3 a.m. She even remembered spilling tea on her coat. The stain was still there. She went to the head nurse and asked, “Did anyone work Sunday night?” The nurse looked confused. “You didn’t, Dr. Verma. I worked that night.” “No, I was here. All night.” The nurse shrugged. “Maybe you’re mixing up day...

  “Right Isn’t Always Recognized”   Once upon a time, in a quiet little town, there lived a man named Aarav . Aarav was not a hero. He didn’t wear a cape or carry a sword. He didn’t seek praise or fame. All he ever wanted… was to do good. He never wanted to be the hero. He never dreamed of being the villain. All he ever wanted… was to do good. He helped quietly, without showing off. He stood up for people when no one else did. He gave more than he had, even when no one noticed. But people talked. They said he was “strange” ,“Too quiet” and “Too good to be true.” When he helped an old man, they said he wanted money. When he stood up for a bullied kid, they said he just wanted attention. When he fed stray dogs, they said he was wasting his time. No matter what he did, someone twisted it. They didn’t see his heart. They only saw what made them feel better. And in their version of the story—he was the villain. At first, he tried to explain. He told them the truth. But no o...
