Because I am afraid
I venture through the day
Headphones on
Hood pulled over my face
Insecurities scream my name
Getting my attention
But only for a minute
Because my facade cannot break
No one asks why I’m afraid
Because no one knows
I never tell
My speaker’s in a cage
Telling me to let her go
But I can’t and I won’t
Kuz no one cares about what she has to say
“Just let it go, wait another day”
But she can’t
She beats against her cage breaking bars
She shatters my teeth
And my tongue starts to walk on its own
I can’t stop it I’m in no control
Most days I can repress her
She makes all the noise in the world
Yet I would not budge
My mind is screaming
My mouth is silent
I think more than i speak
But only I know that
