Being painfully shy and not knowing what to say or feeling as if you have no will to speak what’s in your heart.

I need someone to talk to,
yet, I don’t even know how to.
I want to rip my heart out,
I don’t know what I’m sad about.
I want to throw myself to the floor,
but I can not, my soul I adore.
Yet, it cries, it breaks,
and with each word I can’t speak it aches.
I don’t want to complain,
I don’t want to cause pain.
My intent is not to burden nor bother,
I just can’t speak I can’t whisper.
I can’t tell you,
this is killing me, what I’m going through.
Every word I say is true,
if I could speak it I’d show you.
I know what I am, I know who,
yet, I can’t unlock I don’t know how-to.
Don’t say I haven’t tried,
I opened wide, it hurt so much I cried.
I’m scared nothing is working,
breathes deep … silently screaming.
