It's funny how I have so much to say.

I have so much to say, but I do not want to speak.

My lips do not want to move for in fear of messing up.

Because a lady is not loud, she yells.

Because a lady is supposed to keep her mouth shut, she whispers.

Because a lady does not make a fool of herself, she reprimands.

I have so much to say.

I say it all when she's gone.

Or so I try.

I try but I end up quieting myself with each syllable I speak.

No one understands after I cut off.

My brain cuts off.

Because engraved in my brain I can not make a fool of myself for the consequences.

Because they'll laugh.

And make fun.

And think I am not a lady.

I talk so much but I hate to talk.

I have so much to say but I hate to talk.

So I write.

Just so maybe...

I can say what I want.

But that's not what a lady does.

She echoes.
