“Silly girl” It stabs Belittled and made small I never know my size I wonder how small I can become.
“Silly girl” A word is a joke But only when it comes from me.
“Silly girl” What could you understand? I sigh It’s like a chokehold My words never said for you.
“Silly gi-“ Crushed in the palm of my hands Your words are particles of dust You can’t even finish your sentence!
“Silly...” I’ve stopped listening A buzzing fly zips my ear A tickling touch -- it never mattered
