i am quiet most of the time
i just stare and think.
my words get frozen within my lungs
and i believe my thoughts are deadly
and there's probably a quarantine
surrounding my lungs
people tend to ask me,
"why are you so quiet"
i just smile, laugh, and shrug.
i am quiet most of the time
but my mind is
l o u d
my mind is
s c r e a m i n g
i wish i weren't quiet
i wish i shared my emotions easily.
i do not know how to start.
my words get frozen within my
swollen lungs.
