Sewn Shut

I'm so tired of holding back, it's so unlike me... I want to spill out all the words that keep circling around in my head but every time I try to it's like they dry in my lips. Mouth open, nothing but silence comes out... It's unnerving how I'm chocking on all the words left unsaid.

Truth is... I'm afraid. And lying was never so easy.

"It's so loud inside my head

With words that I should have said

As I drown in my regrets

I can't take back the words I never said

I think that all the silence is worse than all the violence

Fear is such a weak emotion, that's why I despise it

We scared of almost everything, afraid to even tell the truth

So scared of what you think of me, I'm scared of even telling you

Sometimes I'm like the only person I feel safe to tell it to

I'm locked inside a cell in me, I know that there's a jail in you

Consider this your bailing out, so take a breath, inhale a few

My screams is finally getting free, my thoughts is finally yelling through"
