365 Days of Poetry (Part Two)

Day 95: Lips Sewn Shut.

Sew my silent lips shut, forbid me to speak.
Let my unspoken pain build, until I'm too weak.

Becoming infested in this sickness of silence.
Sickened, defeated; I can only cry out in violence.

Take it all back and pretend it never happened.
My wounds "aren't that bad", though my heart lays dampened.
