Words

Caught inside my lungs

Trapped behind my ribcage

They never make it to my tongue

I scream but you don't hear

It's all in my head

You don't understand it

The real agony, the fear

That I could hurt myself

Hurt them

Hurt others

Hurt you

But I can't talk to you

You think it's all a lie

A joke

To you it's not real

But it's real for me

And it hurts

It restricts air

Suffocates

Strangles

Dictates

Discriminates

Judges

Second guesses

Picks at all my weaknesses

And makes it hard to find the right
