I don't have a voice
or I don't have the words
either way I'm not sharing my thoughts
I'm holding them in, resentful, feeling upset
anger bubbles up
I'm filled with regret
I wish the words that flow from my pen tip
could just as easily roll off my lip
however hard I try
I just get overwhelmed and shy
embarrassed to say what is on my mind
worried it sounds silly, too ambitious or unkind
I say I've no dreams
no big picture
can't look ahead
can't see the future
it's not void
I know it's there
it's just not ready for my mind to share
keeping my dreams
locked inside
the lack of motivation
makes them easy to hide
shut down
quiet
almost mute
busy
loud
can't compute
I
know
it
looks
like
I
don't
care
some
thoughts
and
words
are
just
too
much
to
share
