I know you want me to speak
But I really just can’t
I’m sorry I’m so weak
I really just want to rant
But the words get lost
In the overwhelming fear
In the seas, storm-tossed
I’m being sincere
It’s hard for me too
Talking about it is so difficult
At this point I don’t even know if I can trust you
I don’t want to feel insignificant
I really want the pain to end
But I don’t even remember when it began
All I do is pretend
How long do I want to do this plan?
The silence consumes me
But my head is so loud
Why don’t they see?
I just want to make someone proud.

I'm proud of you for sharing these words
for giving a voice to those unheard
and even if you're pretending
a semblance of fine, to ink out these rhymes
that's just fine, whatever it takes
for you to manoeuvre away
from the hurt in your life..
thanks for sharing, stay strong
So much expressed in this write. It's so often not easy to talk about things, but writing about them can surely help.
Keep writing.... Don't ever stop....
