It's funny how the calm ocean
that roars inside of you,
can turn into a raging, violent storm,
at the reaction to my words.

Words so simple,
so quietly spoken,
most wouldn't even listen.
My words are often overlooked,
or minimized,
and that's why I was so surprised
when you listened very closely,
and turned, dark and against me.

I have learned that my biggest creations,
were better left unspoken.
Safe from criticism,
or hate,
or judgement.
Just locked away in the back of my mind,
that way I can fantasize
the fact that I might make it happen,
someday.
