sea side

i have

to organize

the tidal wave of my

emotions and opinions

in such a way

that they don’t spill forth

from my lips

unbidden

uncontrolled and

hotly contested

by those

who once pretended

to swim peacefully

in the pool

of my hopes and dreams

even as they clogged the filters

that kept the waters safe

so that i don’t drown them

in the truths

that they deny

Sumayyah Talibah
