Me

I have a box on my head

Or a bubble, or a chain with a lock

It's the best I can do

To describe to you how it feels

The silent violence that takes over my entire body

Mostly my mind

Most weeks, doing nothing, being nothing

I should shut up

But you see I have things I like

Things to say

Feelings to express

Actions to take...

I should shut up

It's better to hold on and let the world around close in

Not breathe smoothly

Want to cry and curl up until it just stops....

I should just shut up
