My breath hitches
I clench my fist
I try to contain my screams
I try to contain words
That try to break free
They can't slip
Out of my mouth
So they escape
From my hand
It doesn't bring me peace though
It just leaves me with less things
On my mind but more screams
On the tip of my tongue
I try
I really try
But I just can't let them
Fuck up with myself
Someday they will break free
And that day they will
Come back a hundredth times harder
Hurt me a hundred days more
And convince me to shut my mouth
And let my hand write my screams
May
