You deem me a weakling
I do not entertain your foolishness
but instead of fighting you,
I answer with silence instead.

you are not aware of the fire that grows inside
threatening to burn out your lifeline
I keep it under lock and key
I answer with silence instead

With every word, my demons grow hungry
the try to slyly creep out
I shall not allow them
I answer with silence instead

Don't perceive my mercy for weakness
for if I was weak,
I would let my fire burn the wicked
and my demons would swallow you whole

Anger takes no strength
but to keep the peace is rare
So don't mistake my strength
just because you answer weakly
Us women do not get the respect we need. We are just as strong and capable as anyone else
