Poems of a Teenage Girl

why cant i just shut up

I have a voice that never rests,
A constant stream of words, I must confess.
It flows like a river, never slowing down,
It's like a never-ending merry-go-round.

I speak without thinking, words tumble out,
I can't seem to control what I talk about.
It's like a curse that I can't escape,
I wish for silence, but it's all fake.

Maybe if I cut my tounge
It'll be easier
No one will have to hear my annoying voice ever again
I won't be a problem anymore

I chatter and babble, never knowing when to stop,
I fill the air with my never-ending verbal crop.
People try to quiet me, but I just can't comply,
My mouth keeps moving, no matter how hard I try.

I wonder why I can't ever shut up,
Why my words overflow like an endless cup.
Perhaps it's fear of silence, fear of what I'll find,
If I stop speaking, what will be left behind?

Or maybe it's a need for attention, for validation,
A deep-rooted desire for constant communication.
I seek connection through my words, my stories,
I crave understanding, empathy, and love

Why can't I ever shut up?
Words flow out of me like a rushing stream,
Thoughts and ideas bubbling up endlessly,
I try to contain them, but they burst forth,
I cannot keep silent, my voice must be heard.
I always try and get my side it
For them to listen
But I'm told to shut up
To be quiet
I don't know how to keep my mouth shut
It's like a fire burning inside me,
A passion that cannot be extinguished,
I must speak my truth, share my beliefs,
Even when others try to silence me.

Some say I talk too much,
That I should learn to listen more,
But how can I stay quiet,
When there is so much to be said?

Maybe I really should

Maybe life would be easier

I wouldn't feel so bad

Why can't I just shut up

Just like everyone asks me to
