Expressing difficult emotion
much like
Crossing an ineffable ocean

Of self

I need help

Hold the tongue
Complain in dreams
Momentary difficulties
Tear away at the seams

Mocked for crying
Should have been lying

Falsely accused
Unwilling to fight
Self imprisonment
Burns out the light

White walls waiting
For more colorful paint

Love;
An empty yawn

What's the use
Where's the restraint
