They Don't Understand

poem by: Rosita Nieve
Written on Oct 01, 2018

They want me to speak
Words fall from my lips
Icicles, snowflakes
My breath rips 
A cold harsh winter
Wind whipping, lashing,
Severing fragile things
Each question
Posing a threat
To the winter storm
Swirling within my heart
What they ask
Threatens with summer
Warmth means open
I choose the cold
As I shut out
The sickening heat
