Some emotions are safe in the silence
Not every pain has to be told.

My smile is lost somewhere, I think
Otherwise, I'm happy as you see.

My dreams were fluffy and sweet
Don't know why it's salt that flows.

Rocks and taunts cut me to the bone
I learned not to show my groans.

Internalizing my scars
My vision visualized afar.

My heart lodged in my throat
I learned to speak no more.

Observing each detail quietly
Taught me what I need is inside me.

Love is worship, as they say
Now, my words ink the way.

My tears turned to stone
When I learned to swim alone.

My spoken words are less
As there's a storm brewing in me.

I've stopped complains
For I'd rather be a better me.

I've learned to listen to everything and not react
Time will give a better answer back.
