External Thunder
Locations
"Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain."
Easy said and easy done.
Anxiety hides my personality in the clouds away from the sun.
The mask shields me from danger.
Away from the glaring eyes of strangers
That will never understand a word I say
Because I stutter and sputter
Words that I do not mean to speak.
Internally full of wonder,
But mind clouded with thunder
Too loud for me to think properly.
I have many things to say
But keep quiet because
Perhaps
My thoughts are not important.
Help me escape the brick wall
Blocking me from being who I really am.
I cannot be afraid to fall
Because I will land
And pick myself up.
I cannot let my internal thunder deafen me.
I must be the external thunder
Deafening others
With my thoughts full of wonder
That no one has bothered asking to hear.
