Be Careful What You Say

Or You May Have To Eat Your Words

***

the silence bleeds heavy as it severs my tongue

while my heart quietly hangs in the balance

like a mother compelled to eating her young

resigned ADHD paralyse

keeping the words unsaid, tied up tight

so that the truth can never get out

some days I would rather die

than to continuously suffer this drought

for the silence is deafening

and you won't hear me out

justice comes with the reckoning

but never out of my mouth

***

A/N
ADHD paralysis is a term used by people with ADHD to describe a state of feeling frozen or unable to function when faced with a task or decision.
