Silence

Its an understanding how we all feel when we feel like we cannot be heard and understood

The words have begun to slowly swirl in my head

 

They are slowly gaining speed

 

Getting heavy like lead

 

I try to speak but I can’t

 

Its like no matter how much I try

 

It would come out and sounding like a rant

 

So instead I stay silent but sane

 

Slowly my pressure builds and I might fold

 

It’s penetrating my brain

 

But how long can this last inside?

 

What would happen if I were to burst?

 

Would I do something that would make you want to hide?

 

I cannot say what I feel

 

Because it’s instantly wrong

 

But I’m not sure how much longer I can hold this seal

 

So I stay up every night my mind going wild

 

While you all sleep and dream

 

I’m lying in bed like a restless child

 

I just hope I can figure this out and get it right

 

About what is I need to fix

 

Because it’s not a good feeling being up all night
