Speachless

by Kasie   Jan 3, 2017


Feeling helpless,
Lost in the labyrinth of my mind.

Trying to speak,
But the words are frozen beneath my breath.

Unable to voice my opinions,
Terrified of what they will think.

Will they think that it's stupid,
Or even care at all?

Crippling fear of the unknown,
Never knowing what to say.

Always over thinking everything,
Suddenly I feel I'm sinking.

My mind is like a war zone,
Battling thoughts inside my head.

Always told I'm too quiet
Even though I'm screaming inside.

    I like the flow of sad rain in this sorrowful write. I actually felt the physical pain while I was running through this write. You are quite talented specially with the sad poems. I guess you are describing about some kind of brain problem.

    A very well written.

    Which you do eloquently indeed. The best writers are always social misfits it seems, lol

    This sounds like the beginnings of a panic attack/anxiety attack.
    I am never good around too many people and always begin to panic when I think I don't have the right words.
    Sometimes, I suppose, we should just be stronger and more confident in our own convictions and damn what others think!

    Take care

      I suffer from social anxiety. It's hard for me to express myself to someone. The only way I'm able to do so is through writing.

    Super poem containing inner dialogue. I like the presentation of spaced out couplets, they look pleasing to me. Most of all though, I like the end. Here you Stab hard the message of the quiet, shy girl who is actually a tornado of words inside. Much like the eye of a storm!

    Well done,
