Unleashed Outburst

You; him or her, anyone can tell me I am wrong..
Each and everyone is entitled to their own opinion..
Each one has a word or sentence to say..
For this is freedom of speech..

However, must one speak this much to cause hurt?
Must one use this to cause abuse?
Must one utter such to destroy or discourage someone?
Must one reply in a disrespectful manner?

Oftentimes, VERBAL ABUSE is so common 
Yet oftentimes so unnoticeable..
It is oftenly committed by anyone .
For in heightened emotion one gets uncontrollable...

I am a quiet type person..
Don't want to speak up when I can handle..
Though all patience reaches its "red line"..
All controlled emotions reaches to burst...

Thank God no tears fall 
For I'm not use to speaking much
I feel a torn unleashed in my heart
As I speak the hidden words I long been deny...
