Paint Me Flawless

4.

Silently

The way I live.

Walking along without saying a word.

I can't talk. I have nothing to say.

The sentences can't form.

Lost.

Are the words.

They can't find the path to my mouth.

they light a candle, the flame scorching my throat in a sizzling fire.

Making it harder to tell, to spill-

I suffer silently.

Guilt.

Is what lives inside of me.

Every second of every day.

It won't leave.

I can't banish it.

It gobbled up my heart,

replaced it,

and now it's what supplies me with life...

Pain.

Is what it's like,

to know what's happening,

and not be able to say a word...

My insides gone.

My soul barely remains.

The guilt ate me from the inside out,

and I feel like nothing.

I am no one.

I am the loser.

I am mute...
