not your appliance

A softly lit, cracked wall with a broken light switch dangling by frayed black wires. A severed power cord lies on worn wooden floorboards. A bright beam of light reveals textures and shadows, creating a clear, cinematic atmosphere of resistance and autonomy. — Image: AI-generated using DALL·E and modified by the author; Poetry: written by Tristan Robert Lange, Human-authored.

by silence,
you’ve tried your hand
at venomous violence,

but here’s the thing:

i am not your appliance
to hit the off button on,
And i don’t owe you

compliance,

and you sure as hell
will never buy

my silence.
