Feelings

Feelings, The things I feel like I have to hide, No words, As if I am unable to speak, As if my mouth is sewn shut, When someone asks if I am ok, Only words I can manage to say are “i’m fine”, Words that I feel will never be true, Words that feel wrong every time they depart from my lips, But yet the words i need to describe how i feel, Forbidden to my tongue, But they leak from my heart like water from a faucet, And explode in my head as if my brain was laced with bombs, I breathe in and out in an attempt to keep the truth in, But the words burn on my tongue like a newly lit fire, Feelings.
