Sharing
Alone in my car
Or washing the dishes
Or in the shower
Alone with my thoughts
I speak them aloud…
Thoughts that should always
Stay quiet
In my head
And my head alone.
Then…
A moment of weakness
Inhibitions down
The pressure builds
The words come out.
No longer in my head.
No longer alone.
Words hanging in the air
Like fog
Like mushroom clouds.
Words that
Thinking back
I would never say aloud
Should never say aloud.
Words that tell the story
Of me
Words that tell the fear
I carry
Words that tell the anxiety
I try to push down
And once they’re out there
They never come back
They never get unsaid
They are no longer quiet
Not in my head alone
Sharing is fine for candy or toys
But not necessarily
For thoughts.
