In My Mind
October 24, 2021
These feelings, all jumbled up in my head.
Spinning and spinning,
Oh, she’s the quiet girl.
She’s just the background.
She’s a spectator.
But, I have a mind,
I have thoughts,
I’m just like everyone else.
So why can’t the words come out?
Why can’t my body, my mouth say what I want to say,
Is it that hard to control something that is just in your grasp?
Why is it so hard to protect the people that I love,
I try to speak,
But the words just don’t come out.

Recently, one of the people I thought I knew very well did something very horrible to the people I was close with. I've never really experienced something like this, and I just couldn't find the words to stand up, I knew what I wanted to say to her, I wanted to tell her that she was wrong, but something was just holding me back. So I wanted to say I'm sorry, I'm sorry I wasn't there for you.
