Kills Me Slowly
May 25, 2018
It’s the silence that kills me slowly,
when I don’t say a word.
They tell me to say what I’m thinking,
it’s not that easy.
This silence muffles me,
until I cannot bear it any longer.
But I still can’t speak my truth,
they wouldn’t understand it.
They wouldn’t understand
the fears I see in the night,
the thoughts I think,
the things I feel.
The silence is killing me slowly.
Taking my breath away,
leaving me lonely,
unwanted.
When I do speak,
they do understand.
It’s the fear that stops me,
and the silence kills me slowly.
