On the waves of a song

 

So many things,

never said.

Words unspoken.

So many times

I left with

threads untangled.

Words unravelled,

thoughts not travelled.

Mountains unconquered.

Oceans I should have sailed.

but regret is a ship

with only pain onboard

that has been docked too long.

I'm going to let it set course,

in hope of finding happiness

on the waves of a song.

 

Living cautious,

just floating

on still waters.

I never said the words I had

stored in my head.

Let them grow instead,

into trees, a forest

I could never navigate.

A maze where

each pathway led

back on itself.

Cowardly,

sitting in my

own company.

It's easier than trying to talk,

and feeling ridicule wash over me.

 

All of my life I've denied myself

happiness, chances, companionship.

Instead, I've been on a solo trip,

Fearing peoples glances 

in case they see

my paper-thin fragility.

The way I crack

when pressure

is placed upon me.

The way my mind

stops working momentarily,

usually right when I need it to be

singing at high key.

So, I've stored up words,

boxed up inside.

Things I never let out,

or would keep locked up

and tongue tied.
