Powerful Silence

November 30, 2020 ~ musingsandmusic ~ Leave a comment

Sometimes,
I don’t want to write about my darkness–
as if acknowledging it
gives it power.

But this is a lie.

Throughout my life,
I have learned and re-learned
that nothing emboldens darkness
more than
silence.

To A Female Ex-Coworker

You said I’d be sexy
if I wore my hair down
if I plucked my eyebrows
if I unbuttoned the top few buttons of my shirt.

I laugh at how much you’re missing,
at how completely you misunderstand me.

It is my mind, my heart,
my soul, my very essence that makes me sexy–
not any of those things.
