In an upside-down garden

Slowly. Quickly. Softly. Loudly.
We all open ourselves sometimes
to say the words we hear
       in our minds
and make the mess a reality
those words that play
over and over and over over over
       again
in our minds
strangling all other thoughts
until we're consumed
       with this idea
that if we open our mouth
and let the words tumble out
maybe someone will care enough to say
       "you're okay".

Somehow, I really understand this. I just, relate very well.
You're really growing as a writer, great job.

Another good one, Allysa!!!!

I totally understand the feelings here. Sometimes you keep everything bottled up, hoping that everything will work out in the end. But at some point, you need to let someone in on the secret, and hope that he/she will sympathise with you.
