Did I Say That Out Loud

Or Was It All In My Head

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished 7 months ago 1 min read

Did I say that out loud

Did I finally slip

Did I open the clouds

Did that fall from my lips

Did the dam really break

Did it come rushing out

Did those things I’d never say

Just pour out of my mouth

It all happened so fast

Did it really go down

Did the thoughts make it past

Did the walls release the sound

Did you hear how I feel

Did my words reach your ears

It all feels so surreal

Did I make it perfectly clear

Did I tear down the walls

Did I articulate well

Did you see how I felt

Did you view my living hell

Did you feel my sense of relief

Did you understand what I meant

Did you really see me

Or was it all in my head

    Sometimes I wonder if I did, too

    Oh, we all have thought these lines probably many times in our busy lives. Better to let them out than have a stroke or heart attack. Good job.
