Love is Impatient, Love is Unkind

Quiet

It's the fear of being misunderstood.
The fear of coming off the wrong way.
It makes you scared to open up,
to talk to people.
It makes you close yourself off
To overthink, and second guess everything.
Maybe it'll seem over dramatic, or selfish.
You're afraid to look
like you're seeking attention.
So that's why you keep quiet.
Why you allow you mind to scream
But your mouth to stay shut.
You let yourself suffer.
Because God forbid,
Somebody takes something the wrong way.
So you
Keep it to yourself, bottle it up.
No matter how much it hurts,
no matter how much you need to talk about it,
want to talk about it.
You just can't.
