Unspoken Wounds
You want me to speak what I’m thinking,
What’s on your mind?
But it's hard, you see,
To voice,
To utter,
When no one before has cared to listen,
When every time I tried,
I felt belittled, dismissed.
Every truth of mine laughed at,
Ignored.

So when you ask what's on my mind,
I say 'nothing.'
I won’t let that hurt find me again.
