    I Am the Poem My Father Never Read”

    I was born between verses, a stanza too soft for war, too loud for peace.

    My mother taught me silence was safer than honesty.

    My father taught me that men bleed inward ; in neat, invisible metaphors.

    I loved like a comma; always pausing where I should have ended.

    Grief tucked me into its pocket like a note never delivered.

    Now I write, not because I know how, but because the ache needs a shape.

    You call it poetry.

    I call it survival.
