Pen and Paper

I write because some words can't be spoken aloud.
They stick to the base of my throat unable to make a sound.
I struggle to express my thoughts but others still think that I am mute.
.
I write because some words can't be spoken aloud.
I can't explain the depths of my emotions.
I can't explain the anger or my fear.
I can't explain the unseen scars or the newly formed wounds.
.
I write because some words can't be spoken aloud.
My scars are deep and my voice can't express.
I struggle to open my mouth and let the words form.
.
I struggle to release the betrayal,
to share the hurt.
I seek understanding.
I seek acknowledgment.
.
I write because some words can't be spoken aloud.
Because those who should hear,
don't.
Because those who should see,
don't
Because spoken words can be forgotten.
