Change

I am really good at writing mean words that would hurt

If I said them

If I dared I would

Let them slip my throat

Stick them through your ribs at my will

I don't bare to speak of the anger that breeds in me

I don't bare to say that I love you and I want you and I hate you

I hate you now

Now

But I am silent

Hoping that you'll change

Burning in my mouth

Words that can't escape my tongue

Clogging up my throat

Withering my inside

So I am peeling off my skin

And pulling all my seams apart

I am doing all I can to keep my mouth from letting loose on you

I am silent

Hoping that you'll change for me
