"Silence girl"
"Hold your tongue"
"I think you're too opinionated"
"You better watch your mouth"
The girl holds back her comment
She knows she shouldn't speak
especially not now
I start out young
Cloudy, foggy
No lighthouses in my mind
Shying away from my
Kind
Stressed
Depressed
And, ultimately, Repressed
Infortune weighing heavily
I sigh
continuing to search
for solutions
for the involuntary kill
all similar triangles
dead-eyed
squinting in traffic
public television
blasting from the T.V.
