I'll stay in this silence
And breathe the heavy words
That were thrown carelessly
From your insecurity

I'll drink them in, eagerly
These poisons that you spit
And use them
To grow stronger

Attitude

Strong character, growing mightier, leaving torment behind, cleansing the spirit. Well captured.

An Admirable Spirit...

...with an equally admirable goal. Proof that short does not necessarily mean simple.

Very strong

In a very short framework you've said a years worth and more. Sewn in the few lines we see, an underlying tale of long term missery and apparent carelessness is visible. Very well done.

Thought provoking.

It's always possible to take something negative and turn it into something positive.
