The Weight of Assumptions

The Weight of Assumptions

People often judge without knowing, weaving stories from fragments of gossip and shadows of assumption. They speak loudly about lives they’ve never lived, painting others with colors that do not belong to them.

This careless chatter can make life heavy, forcing one to carry burdens that were never theirs. Yet truth has a way of rising. When it finally breaks through, those who once spoke so freely are left in silence. No apology, no acknowledgment of the harm caused — only stares that linger, eyes that cannot escape the shame of their own falsehoods.

The lesson is clear: words have power, and assumptions can wound. But resilience lies in knowing that truth, though delayed, always arrives. And when it does, it silences the noise, leaving only the strength of the one who endured.

Poem:

When Truth Walks In

They whispered in corners,

built castles of lies,

judged from a distance

with blind, shallow eyes.

They painted my story

with colors untrue,

forgetting the canvas

was never theirs to view.

But truth is a traveler,

it walks with the dawn,
