Rage Stilling Me

In the court
unbelieving ears
not wanting to hear
the depth of the lies
their voice speaking
spoken aloud in public
Rage stilling me
wanting to shout out, “liar”
but instead stilling my voice
unable to speak
the words of the moment
Words of anger ringing
my ears afire again
my whole body trembling
wishing for a judgment, quickening
a day of retribution
yet silently doing my part
in the place I was put.
