All my life, you said what you said. I did what you said. I wore full-sleeved clothes. I stayed quiet. My cries went into vacuum— swallowed, silent. But you always stood strong. It’s the colour of skin. The hair you couldn’t tame. The nose that wasn’t yours. I always just... heard what you said until my ears bled out. You remind me of the mountains— the ones I grew up with: tall, oddly shaped, and proud. It’s shocking that my tears made you crumble, like a lost girl at sea. Glad to see, the past haunts you like it does me.
