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!, Melissa~ "Poetry is not an opinion expressed... |

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