I want to be breakable without being broken. Weep loudly, express rage. I want to breathe without pain or control and still remain. Cover our mouths, call it peace. Make us beg, while we bleed. Taught to flinch and feel no pain. Bury the hurt until we are the ache. Swallow fire, speak in flowers and still remain.
Learned their rules brutally, we dress our wounds in pleasantries. Choke the part of ourselves that makes them uncomfortable. Forced to bend but can’t break, present survival as grace. But we were never quiet, we were silenced.
Swallow fire, speak in flowers and still remain.
