Something stirs beneath the skin of knowing,
unsure if it should rise or fade.
Meaning trembles on the edge,
a thought that fears its form.
Silence flickers once,
almost speaking,
almost seen,
almost,
gone.

no need for scarring
no vicious verbal sparring

I'm not that #brittle
the pain gave resilience
I will bend, not break
