There is a list of things I think about,
That never leave my mouth.
Behind teeth that act like barriers,
Honest thoughts are found
Lost. In the background of fear,
Sitting there spoiled,
They slowly decay.
I choke on sour truths,
Afraid to open my lips.

Incredibly vivid and strong. So well done!

I can totally relate to this. It’s so difficult when you want to speak your truth, but too afraid to let it out. You described this beautifully! 😊

I think writers do… writing is easier than speaking for many of us.

Really a great post! So much truth in what you’ve said! It’s really hard not to speak, especially when what you are wishing to say is true, but you are smart enough to leave it unsaid. Thought you might enjoy my post on this topic if you haven’t read it yet?
