What on Earth
Keeps me stuck
In my throat
Frozen

Keep up be quick
Others can speak
Only my voice
Unheard

Writing my feelings
Hidden behind
Curtains drawn tight
Blue

Sheepish grin
Facing the world
Unprepared
Shy

Nobody there
I am the one
Hurting no reason
Silent

When words appear
Under shallow breath
Who wants to hear
Sarcasm

Undealt with emotions
Riddled by trauma
Incoherently spit out
Crippled

Only my fingertips
Say how I feel
My mouth is tightly sealed
Empty

Puzzled self
