Locked Inside

I’ve got so much to say, But my words don’t come out right. Thoughts stacked in my chest, Heavy, ready to fight. I try to speak, but I freeze, The words just slip away. I need to let it all out, But I don’t know what to say. I’m screaming inside, But my voice won’t break through. I just need someone to listen, To hear what I’m going through. I’m not hiding, just tangled, Stuck with nowhere to go. I want to let someone in, But the words refuse to show. I’ve tried to scream, but it’s silent, The words disappear like dust. All this pain I carry with me, But trust just hurts too much. Maybe someday I’ll find the strength, To speak without the doubt, But until I know they’ll listen, I’ll keep my heart locked out. Maybe someday I’ll find the strength, To speak without the fear, But until I know they’ll listen, I’ll keep my words right here.
