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. 


The author's comments:

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.
