I'm screaming out on the inside

I have so much to say

But the moment I part my lips...

NOTHING--

I fight for the words to slip from my tongue

Beg myself to speak up and be heard

And still...

NOTHING--

"Speak you idiot!"

"Say something, anything!"...

STILL NOTHING--

So I just look up

Wipe my tears and...

BREATHE--

And then...

I break.
