Worry and Guilt

It is the worrying that is causing me to snap at others. 

As if responding to a snide remark. 

After trying to be inhibited for so long-

As if my inhibitions would ward off the thoughts I believe others are thinking. 

As if a thought could turn into my fate. 

But eventually, all secrets that seeth within. 

Will turn into a whirlwind of confessions. 

Confessions that confuse. 

Maybe they knew nothing after all. 

And the silence that was there all along-

Continues.
