Rewiring Me
by Sumia Rabeah
you taught me to hold my tongue
in the face of devils
for their darkness will come to light
you taught me that
they deserve nothing but my silence
let them simmer in it
let them sink as i rise
you taught me that and yet
i cannot hold my tongue
when it comes to you
you make me spill my guts
unbothered to clean up
i bear my soul to you
every time we speak
will i ever unlearn that?
