The thoughts of your words


The rigid walls behind

Me                                       

Kept me in

There is no escape from this beautiful place

Only your thoughts

That cannot

Come out into speech

It is not like it is the beach

Where we can roam freely.

But where we have to act out our words

To make it all okay.

We cannot say

What we need

Only because we may not plead

I have a million words piling up

But I cannot share a single one
