Sometimes, the loudest thing I say is nothing. Not in boardrooms. Not at brunch. But in the pause before I press “send” in the family group chat. That moment of hesitation carries more truth than any emoji could. Do I hide joy at home—or just perform closeness for comfort?

A boundary made of restraint. A power wrapped in pause.
But still - do I ache under the title I worked so hard to earn?

I wanted proof.
That I belonged. That I deserved the raise, the seat, the ring.
Even my pet sees it. She watches me more closely than anyone else.

I ache beside the cat, not the man.
Is purring a form of envy? Or a mirror?
Do rich women cry with cats because they don’t have witnesses for their softness?
Do we speak gentler to pets because they won’t interrupt?
The dog watches me rehearse the voice I use in rooms where I still feel like an intruder.
He listens better than most humans I pitch to.
Sometimes, I wonder if my dog is my therapist.
Or maybe, he’s my mirror.
