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
