Confined
My thoughts confined
To there own hell
No one hears them
Because
They're all chained up
Never spoken aloud
Never heard
But here they are
Being read
But
They're ignored
Spoken or written
No one hears me
I'm that fly on the wall
A blip on a page
Always there
Like a pesky gnat
But the most attention I ever get
A glance
A nod
Or not even that
But these thoughts
In my head
They need let out
For all to hear
So listen up
And be sure to listen well
One day you'll know
You shouldn't ignore
A slow ticking bomb
Just serving its time
Till it can explode
