No Mouth
What can I write?
Words simply get stuck in my head. Will I ever be able to let them out , again? Or will the words stay locked up forever in my head to be heard only by me?
When I try to talk, the words mix up upon exiting my mouth like scrambled eggs. Better to keep my mouth shut then to risk embarrassment. People wouldn't understand, I don't.
The words say , "Hey! Let me out I'm in here! Please!." I clench my teeth and bite my lips until I taste a rusty taste in my mouth.Words are better to be behind the jagged bars.
One day,they may escape. Maybe, just maybe I will let the words out on parole. With conditions, of course.
I have no voice and I must scream!
