Not a word will slip,
I refuse to allow a single one

Why?

Because you don't understand...
You can't even fathom
What's going through my head

Let me know then...

No! I won't speak
I refuse to let you know
What's in my heart, it's not your business
I'll bite my tongue, my voice is gone

Then write

I do write, it's a vent
You can read it if you'd like,
That's the only way you can hear
What I have to say,

Otherwise, you won't ever know

Can't you speak?

No! I'm mute! I Refuse,
I REfuse,
I REFuse,
I REFUse,
I REFUSe,
I REFUSE!

Why not?

Because it becomes too real_...
Words on paper sparks life,
But words spoken... They bring forth life
The voice is the heartbeat, I won't allow it.

So instead, I'll swallow my tongue.
Let the sweat pour over me,
Let the eyes stare, Not a sound shall I mutter!

There’s beauty in the voice. I'm here to listen, just-

Not a peep shall I speak,
The blood from my bottom lip is not noticed
For I'm drinking it all it in,
After all, I don't want to pass out

But I want a reason to say,
"You don't understand!"
I made this bubble around me so you can't come in,
And if I whisper something small, it might just pop

Why keep the world at arm’s reach?

Because I don't want you here
Plain and simple as that
This wall that reaches the heavens
Will not fall so easily.

I've bottled up my emotions so deep,
Put the cork on tight,
So you can't see.
My emotions are mine alone,

You didn't really want to know anyway?

How can you say that?

Because you don't understand

Not only do you not understand,
But you don't understand that
I don't want you to understand,
And at the same time,
Want you to understand.

Understand?

Not a clue

You're just a flame under me,
The bubbling feelings that I try to compress
Inside this kettle of watery things,
Water, that comes in all kinds of forms,

If you're not careful, you may just make me boil.
But then again, maybe that's what you want,
To see me steaming and whistling

But I'm as stubborn as an atom
Whose electrons never touch each other,
And once I snap and I am split in half,
From the emotions that refuse to stay down

Boom!

Exactly.

All of my
Feelings,
Thoughts,
Emotions,

And most importantly,
My words,
Will be the cause of radiation
Miles and miles away,

For years to come

And who's to blame?

You!

You will be the first person I come after,
The first person I hunt down,
So you can be the first person I thank.

Thank you/You're welcome
