Help Me
Help me be Quiet
She told me
she told me to be quiet
my pain was too loud for her to witness
excusing herself while asking for
forgiveness
quieting me is deleterious
discussions necessary and serious
She said
she pled to please be exempt
as if this one conversation was her
ultimate attempt
to understand and create change
wanting to push past my elegance and
quiet the range
of my rage
when I thought I was just speaking
