Suppressed

suppressing things you can not bear to say
as a lump settles in your throat anyway
when trying to open your mouth to speak
air gets caught squeezes you weak
lips become brittle start to dry
no sound comes forth no matter how you try
much to say but there is no sound
loudness of silence echoes around
the pit in your stomach swallows you whole
the feel of your heart is out of your brains control
so you turn again and just walk away
suppressing the things you can not bear to say

"...the rest is silence" (Hamlet) Shakespeare

This poem describes how my words and thoughts don't want to come out! This
is a nice poem.

As my borough has always stated- Do or Die.

Well expressed, Helen! I know this feeling all too well, but, sometimes I let it build up to the point where it needs to explode out of me, so that it doesn't eat me up for good.

Take care
and hugs!,

Suppressed,
Depressed by the words left out,
Silence left by deleted thought,
Repressed,
Compressed yet want to reach out,
Edited emotions stay unsought.
