Speech and Silence

I am addicted to talk
Only to hold back and shut
Addicted to say
Addicted to express
Yet I am still holding back

Part of me is holding the speech in
It's silence for once
Finally a talk

What mind do I have?
One that welcomes silence with open arms
One that shouts for a talk to start

Yet with both

I'm here paralyzed not sure what to do

Should I accept a talk I will later miss
One that I might later regret

"Backstabber"

Or welcome the silence
Sitting in my chair

Only to stare
Hand gestures the most I could add

"Backstabber"

Addicts fighting each other
Here for joy and mellow
Yet they can both be the other
