Rupi Kaur- Made Heavy

you tell me to quiet down cause
my opinions make me less beautiful
but i was not made with a fire
in my belly
so i could be put out
i was not made with a lightness
on my tongue
so i could be easy to swallow
i was made heavy
half blade and half silk
difficult to forget
and not easy
for the mind to follow
