Skilled silence

Poem Title: Skilled Silence

 

My smile is deceptive
Sometimes I keep my thoughts silent in my head, so that devils, or people cannot hear my weaknesses.

I choke my fears as to silence them, so they cannot be heard, and the only evidence of them are my tears that I shed alone in private without chocking my voice.

I attempt to suffocate my fears a failed attempt to withhold my tears, yet the fears just will not die. My emotions lay still and dormant. I become numb and they wait until it is their time. Time for them to invade my mind and cause confusion as they often do.
This leaves me blind to my potential and ultimately, I am invisible.
