"Don’t Yell"

By someone who's tired, hurting, and just wants peace

---

Don’t yell.

Not today.

I’m not strong enough to take it.

My head’s heavy, my chest is tight—

I’ve been sick, and I’m still not right.

Some days I can barely lift the kettle.

And you want to fight over dinner?

I’m not trying to be difficult.

I’m just... holding myself together with tape and tea.

And when your voice rises,

it feels like everything inside me falls apart.

I know you’re tired too.

I know life’s been hard on both of us.

But I need softness now,

not sharp edges.

Hold me like you remember

what we’ve already survived.

Speak to me like I’m your person—

not your opponent.

Because I’m not trying to win.

I’m just trying to breathe.

So please...

Don’t yell.

Sit with me.

See me.

And love me through this.
