I try to speak my mind but there's a dam holding me back.
My emotions are on overload but when I try and express them, it's like I'm being attacked.
I have so much to say but I don't know how to say it
I have so much to say but when I try
The dam starts to back up;
I slowly start to drown
I fight and fight and fight to try and say my thoughts but by this time im at the bottom and start to black out
This is when I tell myself to shut up and leave my thoughts and emotions be because Ik there is no living otherwise that the only thing clear to see
I finally push myself back to the surface for air and some light;
to try and breath once more. but it's not as great as it seems for my mind and thoughts are still locked tight so the only thing to do is agree and say goodnight
this is my first poem I've written
