Swollen Tongue
My tongue is swollen from
All the words I've held
Back. All the times I
Should've expressed myself
And shouted, whispered,
Cried, and laughed the
Feelings pounding in my
Heart and soul. Yet I
Held back, put on a
Façade, let myself be
Only a shadow of what
I really am. Out of
Fear of what those
Feelings meant to me,
What they'd make me.
I like the ending...it's very
I like the ending...it's very real, like the out comes of feelings can be scary and sometimes we fear them, but the feelings we fear most are always the ones that we think make us something, or that make us something to others...that shift us or change us...those are the ones we truly avoid
Much Love

A shadow
I really loved this, poetry has always been my way of uncensoring myself...
Let your teeth show
Facade
If I had said what I thought
my life entire, the world
would have new curse words
and more feelings would
be bad pointed at me.
.
If I had loved and spoke
of my affection without pause,
I would be loved back
by so many more than
the few who have died
and few who remain
who love so sparingly.
