Ciara Kaai Poems

Just because I'm quiet,
It doesn't mean that I'm mean,
Doesn't mean I'm antisocial
Doesn't mean that I'm snobbing
...

A circle of faces surround you
Candles flicker and give off heat
Camera phones flash
Momentarily blind
...

Suffocating in my skin
I can’t tell anyone
Passing it off
Only way to get rid of it
...

Unspoken words
They lie on my tongue
Bitter and deadly
Waiting to be said
...
