Silenced
Conversational deficit
Swallowing my words
Choking on my thoughts
Imagining the things that might be discussed
Conversational starters, each one discarded as potentially explosive
Can't be bothered with my wrong thinking and sloppy ideas
Stay inside the lines
Think inside the box
Sitting in silence
Much safer this way
Free of danger, rage and condemnation
Any thoughts expressed may be used against
Imagining the conversations that might have been
A free exchange of ideas
Silenced
The unspoken
Is it better left unsaid?
