Please don’t take my silence
As passive aggressiveness
I’ve built these walls for 34 bitter years
For moments like this
And bullies from long ago I hate playing the staring game
But I can’t relate
So pop a pill and smile
Even if it leave me immobile
It’s okay that I’m too weak get by
Self pity’s my trade
Not even an outcry
Just another way to get what I want
A slap in the face I break as I taunt
You and myself
