Words
pushing against my chest
longing to get heard,
trying to fit into my heart
Words that I have so carefully
not let in
That I have so intentionally
left outside,
not giving space for them to be spoken
It's just stupid, isn't it?
How they always catch up on you
Whether it's through a sound,
a stroke or simply through a word
How they always stay, no matter how unwanted they are
They always stay
just like you.
