My head is like a concert
Hundreds of things
And people
All trying to be
Heard at once
When you pull
My sleeve to tell
Me a secret
There are parts of me
Proudly dancing
Singing songs played in summer
And flutes in my ears
And there are parts that are
wailings violin playing their sad medley
Or a unrehearsed choir
A Christmas song about a lost soul
And they all play at once
And I stay silent
I stay silent as you wait for a response
And you think I just don't care about
How she's exposing herself
In that skirt
Or that one kid who
Is off key
But I want to giggle
And sing
And proudly show you off
As a friend
But the concert in my head is resulting
In a mouth filled with silence
And I wouldn't dare speak
With my mouth full
