Denial
Crowded into inner space
So many words I will never speak
Thoughts driven by emotion’s waves
They ache to be released
They distract me with tears
But the tape on my lips remains
Painful things seek light
Too troubling to remain hidden
But Fear is a harsh slave master
Muscles spasm as if in pain
As they try to betray my hearts truth
I deny those truths when in embrace
Move on to the next act
The context of my life
Is In the hands of its author
