i can't speak

i can't speak
my misery is so
fucking suffocating
that i just can't speak
i promise that i cant
help but get violent
when i get emotional
because when i get
emotional, i can't speak
because there's no
big enough word
to say, so i do something
much stronger, when i
find myself on that blacktop
getting forced out of the
gaga ball pit

funny

i wish i could cry in front of you
i wish i could vent properly
i wish i could order my words
to express my pure dread
i wish i could take my emotions seriously
but that's too vulnerable for me
because i know my place, i've been locked
with a title that i'm too proud of
to relinquish.
