i speak a thousand words a day...

i speak a thousand words 
a day 
but they’re all thoughts forming 
in my head 
saying them
out loud 
seems so insignificant 
it’s my own thinking
why should anyone care?
to me
expressing myself
is the equivalent of
being naked 
in front of millions
can’t bear the thought 
of bring perceived
over analyzing every little thing 
i feel them all
scrutinizing me 
how can one live so freely?
it’s all i hope to achieve.
