“Lost in the Tides of Time: What Secrets Lie Beneath the Surface?”
In a world filled with noise and opinions, how many of us truly pause to question our own complicity? The haunting lines of this poem resonate with the unsettling truth of knowing something is amiss yet choosing silence over action. It’s all too easy to sink into the comforting embrace of ignorance while turning a blind eye to what demands our attention. The poet deftly reveals the inner conflict we face, caught between the desire for peace—snuggled up in our beds—and the nagging awareness that not speaking out is, in itself, a disservice. They capture the essence of feeling like “just another one,” embodying the quiet regret when history unfolds without our intervention. With each stanza, a mirror is held up to our faces—would we be brave enough to raise our voices or simply settle back into our night’s slumber? It’s a poignant reflection on accountability, the plight of the bystander, and the inevitable awakening that sometimes comes at a cost. Dive into this exploration of conscience as we untangle the threads of complacency and the weight of our choices. LEARN MORE.I was just another one
who knew it was wrong
but didn’t speak up for what’s right
and slept safely in my bed at night.
