There is a specific kind of rage that comes from having oceans of thoughts inside you, entire paragraphs burning in your chest, truths sharp enough to split the room open — and still choosing silence. Not because you have nothing to say, but because you already know the conversation would die in the hands of people emotionally unequipped to hold it.
Some people do not listen to understand. They listen to defend themselves, to dismiss, to mock, to reduce complexity into something small enough for their ego to survive.
And nothing is more exhausting than translating your pain, intelligence, and self-awareness into a language limited minds can digest. Silence is not weakness. Sometimes it is restraint. Sometimes it is self-preservation.
