women are silenced
minorities are marginalized
i would love to see inside the mind of a man who likes to criticize
others for the traits they cannot control
at the end of the day
in the same way
we all grow old

i've lost my voice
my thoughts no longer bold
like a mime I sit and watch
as everyone spills their soul
i think instead of speaking
analyze the conversation
emotions are peaking
i've deescalated the situation...
in my head.
i struggle to speak
they skip my solution
jabbering continues
without a conclusion
i am of no use
i have no relief
feelings are recluse
a heart but no sleeves
best friend to the worst
all you had to do was not mess up
i did the forgiving
the accommodating
cleaned up the messes
soothed your nerves
deescalated the tantrums
prevented the meltdowns
ALL
YOU
HAD
TO
DO
WAS
not **** it up
not lie
not forget
not leave

— The End —
