When Life Stood in Silence is an autobiography in Poetry which depicts a series of life's events and the deep emotions experienced over many years. These poems express pains from love lost and desired, death, adversities, and a yearning to emerge from deep emotional distress, trauma, and depression. It tells of the writer's turmoil, when life halted, and the need for solitude. Moreover, it highlights her daunting inability to relate anything from the world outside the soul except her own misery which laments from far crevices of the heart. It speaks of hope, strength, faith, and a call for help from one's destructive thoughts. It's where life's purpose seems to have no voice and no longer speak to a battered soul; where no one seems to hear loud outcries for survival.
