why were we taught
to bottle up our
rage,
when men were
drinking it
down in gulps?

I have died in her arms, and my baby buried my lies.
I never knew that was a dreadful deed to do.

They never gave me a name:
it was always raging tempers and heavy silence.
They didn't allow me to have something that was my own.
