There's so much I want to say, but I don't know where to start.

 

There's so much I want to say,
But words evade my tongue,
Emotions tangled in my heart,
Where every thread is strung.

The silence weighs like heavy stones,
A burden on my chest,
I try to speak, but thoughts retract,
Retreating, unexpressed.

My mind, a labyrinth of fears,
Of what and how and why,
Each path I take seems closed and dark,
Beneath a somber sky.

The moments slip through grasping hands,
Like sand through open palms,
I wish to voice the aching truth,
To find some inner calm.

But here I sit, with sealed lips,
A soul that longs to part,
To share the depths within me held,
But doesn't know where to start.
