The Colors of Silence

The Colors of Silence

In a small, quiet town nestled between rolling hills and whispering woods, lived a 12-year-old girl named Meera. She was shy, soft-spoken, and preferred the company of her sketchbook over conversations. While others played games outside or scrolled endlessly on phones, Meera spent hours at her desk, surrounded by pencils, crayons, and sheets of paper that carried her secret world.

Her drawings spoke the words she couldn’t say out loud — skies filled with dreams, animals with emotions, and places only her imagination could build. Her parents often worried that she was too reserved, but they noticed something magical in her eyes every time she picked up a pencil. Drawing wasn’t just her hobby — it was her voice.

One day, her school announced an art competition on the theme “My World, My Imagination.” Nervous but excited, Meera decided to give it a try. She drew a forest with trees made of musical notes, rivers flowing with paint, and birds shaped like brushes. It wasn’t just a picture — it was a reflection of how she saw the world: full of beauty, music, and expression.

When the results were announced, Meera’s drawing didn’t win the top prize — but it was displayed at the entrance of the school. Her classmates and teachers stood amazed, realizing how much she had to say without saying a word.

From that day on, Meera wasn't just the quiet girl anymore — she was known as the “artist with a silent voice.” Her hobby opened doors, built friendships, and helped her grow into a confident young creator.

And all of it began with the simple love for drawing.
