Passive

 I grew up with this...

A passive man damages
his home without ever
raising his voice.


A passive man
damages his home
without ever raising his voice.

silence can wound
just as deeply as shouting.

a man who refuses to lead,
refuses to communicate,
refuses to take responsibility
creates a heaviness
his family learns to carry alone.

his absence shows up
in her stress,
in her exhaustion,
in the tension no one talks about
but everyone feels.

homes don't fall apart
from chaos alone.
sometimes they crumble
from neglect,
disengagement,
and a man who chooses comfort
over commitment.

passivity is not peace.
it is destruction
done quietly.
