sealed lips
compel me to swallow
bitter truth
several times over
till I exhale fumes
from eyes and ears
yet
the darkness of my interiors
remains beyond artistic imagination
it might come out as the Evil
I fought against
all my life
this is not recycled fury
it is putrefaction
stinking transformation
Into a new self
Alas! I cannot go back
to my weak, older self
Thanks, Susi! People need to understand why the oppressed speak up after years and fight on.

Wow. Change must happen, and quickly because of the self-loathing. That really comes out in this piece. Good job, Reena!
