If no one clapped and no one cried,
no witness stood at either side,
would you still walk where truth appears,
uncharted, steep, unnamed by cheers?
If praise and blame both lost their voice,
and silence crowned your every choice,
which road would set your spirit free,
which pulse would claim your destiny?
Would you speak the words the brave suppress,
or chase the dreams you dare not confess?
When no eyes linger, judge, or bind,
youβd meet the strength you keep inside.
For choice is clean when stripped of flame,
of borrowed pride, of borrowed shame;
and hearts that listen, still and clear,
chart truer paths untouched by fear.
