Sewn Shut

It feels as if my mouth is being sewn shut
A red thread enclosing my lips
The needle peirces through my skin
Agonizing pain.
I try to say words
But the they refuse to come out
I wish I could say what I'm feeling
Or what I want
But this needle and thread
Have other plans
They won't let me speak
I'm forced to sit and take it
Take all the pain
And keep my mouth
Sewn shut.
