WORDS

Why stay silent
When there is so much to say?
Words say so little
But then say so much.
Hurt by a truth
Hurt by a lie
Why stay silent
When there is so much to say ?
Thoughts keep you silent
Afraid to say these things out loud
Mind plays different options
Too scary if these thoughts came out
So why stay silent
When there is so much to say ?
I will be judged
It wouldn't be fair
To share these words I hold.
Tell the truth
But don't tell a lie
Mouth open but no words can be found
So this is why I stay silent
When there is so much I could say !
