Silenced
I feel I have a choice
I try to raise my voice
Expanding in my chest
Emptiness and loneliness
​
I open my mouth to words
That never come along
Heart beating with fear
Eyes containing my tears
​
Is my brain melting?
Slipping uninterestingly?
Or is the past that taught me
That is not safe to speak up?
​
A bird without its wings
Creativity in dismay
A home for somebody else
A stranger for myself
​
Time slips, things change
Forgotten in the depths
Behind the smile on my lips
A hurricaine contained
​
A touch, a caress, a kiss
My insides shake and squeeze
The words were never there
For as long as I can remember
