My Drift
Forced to keep my mouth closed,
Yet my heart yearns to speak
Struggling to hold my thoughts back,
like my mind is on a leash.
There's a marathon of words,
that are running through my head
& If thoughts could run out of breath,
mine would be dead.
I can't take the stress,
of this tug of war inside
I've grown tired of the suffering
I just want to run and hide.
But I know that I am better than that
& That I actually have a voice,
There's always room to speak
However, that's MY choice.
Time waits for no man
So, I gotta quit stalling
I notice I've been slipping
But I can't get use to falling.
Gone too far to continue to lose balance
Can't get too comfortable
Gotta stay up for a challange.
It doesn't matter whether or not I'm awarded
As long as I put the message out on the surface.
