#cannotspeak
Feeling unpleasant is what I would say I choose not to be portrayed But I claim what I am And I choose not to say So many emotions that I feel Hard to relate what I feel I wish I wish, but cannot speak I start to speak, then stop to think I cannot say, but I wish to speak I speak nothing and that is all I wish to say

"Drowned"
Question Shame eyes overted sudden noise Buzzing in the back of the brain The hook is left hanging submerged in the water Fogging the thoughts until they disappear Words ran away at a thought of being spoken Thoughts those complex layers of Experience feelings impulses values So much insight and potential Running out the door Atom by atom splitting hanging in the air above Spoken sounds are escaping the tongue Oh what a torture to be at a mercy of Limitations Unknowing and lost in the bubble with only self And the gaping hole of loneliness And everything unsaid Through acceptance i find my way To only that within the grasp The truth begging to be said When in no doubt Or finding dignified peace in silence
