I don't know what to say
Or even how to say it
Or maybe if I do know
Maybe I'm trying to avoid it.
So I block
Any words that I have.
I'm letting fear control me
But at that moment
I'm safe; secure.
I feel myself drowning
In unsaid words.
Something only I can do to myself
Something I somewhat regret
But always go back to.
A comfort,
No matter how deadly.
A refuge
Even from the wrong thing.
I'm scared to write,
Yet that's what I find myself doing
So contradicting.
But that's me.
Back and forth,
With no rest.
All repeat.
All repeats and tyranny.
