Meera Mere

I don’t get angry

I don’t get angry
I was never taught how to-
I just go silent,
I act lifeless,
Like a storm that never breaks.
I sit with the ache
until it feels like home.

I don’t fight back,
I fold,
Let the words pass through me,
Like I’m made of air,
Untouchable but torn,
Screaming in the quiet
that no one can hear.
