Selectively mute.
          
          I’ve been talking about it non stop,
          I have seen the look in your eyes,
          Even though you think I’m on top,
          I’m a burden in my eyes.
          
          I can’t speak without messing up,
          So why not just stop,
          I wanna live in my own bubble,
          I can’t speak without causing trouble.
          
          I say something,
          But it’s never heard,
          ‘You can’t go through life without saying one word’.
          
          I don’t need help,
          This is just my safe space,
          I feel like I’m drowning,
          I don’t need help, 
          I just need some space.
          
          I don’t want to talk for a few years,
          Sometime I will break out of my shell,
          For for now I want you to know,
          For me talking is like hell.
          
          ‘Speak one word!’
          You shout in despair,
          No word comes out,
          It is only air. 
          
          I don’t want you to worry,
          Please don’t you frown,
          I just want to stop talking for a bit,
          At least I’ll have a story for when you’re down.
          
          I’ll still be the same funny me, 
          I’ll still love you,
          I’ll still make sure you’re happy,
          I just need to focus on me.
