For I Don't Talk


I don't speak, I don't talk. I am the silent freak, For I don't talk. I have it in me, To make a noise. I can't set it free, For I don't talk. I've been hurt in the past, Bullied but couldn't stop it. A memory I'll always have but never share, For i don't talk. They say they like me and promise no pain, Yet their words still hurt me, Every day. For i don't talk. I open my mouth ready to let it all out, But words won't come, they stay in my throat. So I sit there, like an open mouthed trout, For I don't talk. I don't talk, I don't speak. I am the silent,. For I don't talk
