"The words enter your mouth, but every time your mouth opens, nothing comes out."

Another moment you have just let pass by.  Hesitated, cause you had to think twice.  Held back by a shyness, surrounded by a quietness.  Leaves you silent.

No sudden movement, not even a sound.  You decide to hold your tongue, as you look down.  For all the words you could of said, your patients remain limited.

How long can you go before you break? -Makes you wonder how much more of it you can take.

NOW, furious with yourself.  You bottle up your anger, hoping that it will soon melt.  Causes more weight to be place upon your shoulders. As you try and adjust, so you can get things back in order.

Your shyness is irresistible.  It too obvious in all eyes.  Makes others thing, you have mystery to hide.  Pulls others closer, wanting to get inside. So they can uncover the secret that lies.

Exhale, and breath.  Tell yourself next time you'll make a difference and speak.  Won't hold back, but instead let it unwrap.  Won't question why, but instead speak your mind.  So that way, you'll feel like breaking the silence all the time.  Maybe NEXT TIME!
