Ballad of an over thinker

I can't speak

Why can't I speak

As soon as the feelings come flooding

And the tears come rolling down my face like a vicious tide

An unexpected flash flood

It should come with warning

But it never does

I want to talk

I want someone to know

The pain that I endured

And the hate that I continued to live through

I'm exhausted

And the weight as heavy as cinder blocks

It weighs on me like tar on angel wings

Blackening a light that was almost pure

But now I'm gone

And there's no way to find my way back

So I'm done

And the light is gone

I can't speak

So the pain I'm feeling...

It won't go
