The thoughts want out, but I am unable to express them.
Stuck inside and can’t find their way.
Try to sneak out but rush right back
like a bubble that pops at an alarming speed.
Head spinning until suddenly it’s empty.
Focus. Breathe in, but nothing happens, and I try again.
Words break out, but not clearly enough for their meaning
to follow. Armored. Something stops them.
Have I created barriers impossible to breakthrough?
Within the silence they are safe.
What happens when they get out?
