KILLING THE CURIOUS THING
<p>For a long time, I feared the inquiry.</p><p>I was scolded, not because my questions were wrong, but because the "wise" were hollow, and my voice made them ring. So I shrank. I wore my smallness like a shroud.</p><p>But the silence is over.</p><p>I do not ask to disgrace you; I ask to uphold the weight of what is real. I seek the thoughts that make the marrow tremble, the ones that arrive when the skin tingles and the self begins to unspool. I am tired of the meadow. I am finished with the dandelions. I want the puzzle complete, even if the last piece draws blood.</p><p>I will ask again.</p><p>Not because I am uncertain, but because I have outgrown the cage of your fearful gaze. Every pulse in me screams no, yet I move toward the edge.</p><p>They say curiosity kills the cat.</p><p>Fine. Let it.</p><p>That soft, quivering thing I used to be,that kitten, must die.</p><p>I’d rather be a carcass that knows the truth than a pet that lives on lies.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>
