Check out another featured poem from the “What Does the Day of Silence Mean to You?” call for submissions. This poem was submitted by Rachel S. from Tucson, AZ.

"Untitled."

My lips are sealed shut I will not speak a word on This Day of Silence.   This is a day to Listen; this is a day to Think; what do you hear?   Do you hear the slurs, The insults of a bully Who picks on the weak?   Or maybe you hear Crying – the near-silent tears Of one who is hurt.   So many people; Their calls for help swallowed up By our own voices.   So today, do not Speak. Listen instead, and see What you now can hear.   Thanks for sharing your amazing poem with us, Rachel!
