A girl so bright Had a lot to say
And a lot to write
Words of love and interest
was all she had and needed
Words were her happiness
Words were her defense
Words were her only paradise
She lived with words
She lived in words
She lived for words
Talk talk talk
Chat chat chat
Speak speak speak
That's what she liked
That's what she loved That's how she lived
Until one day
She was asked to hush
Not let to speak
Not let to express
There was something
Something tight
A knot A knot around her neck
A knot that didn't let her words come out
A knot that suppressed her feelings
A knot that felt like death
A knot so tight Squeezing her life out
A constrictor knot
A knot she didn't create
A knot created by the people she loved The people she would do anything for
Irritating, annoying, aggravating Maddening, infuriating, provoking
They said, as the knot tightened and tightened around her neck
Was it real? Was it her imagination?
She tried to touch it with her hand
Nothing , there was nothing
But she felt it
The knot, it was right there
Tightening each time she was asked to hush
