Don't Speak

Why?

Why am I like this?

I should just stay quiet.
Just smile, pretend to be happy like they want me to be.
But I'm dying inside.
I'm in so much pain.

So I talk.

I tell you the truth.
I was just so relieved someone was listening to me that I spilled.
And just like that everything fell apart.

You didn't want my truth.

You didn't want my pain.

And it was never the same.

Why?

Why do I do this to my self.

I should just stay quiet.
Just smile, pretend to be happy like they want me to be.

Just don't speak.
