The Truth

What my mind wants to say, but can't

By Samantha MalinPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

All these thoughts trapped inside me like a message in a bottle being set out to sea. Waiting to be seen. Waiting to be heard. Wanting to burst open and show the world. Yet I'm still here. Trapped inside my head. Knowing that if I explode, it'll be a disaster for everyone, including me.

You tell me just to say it aloud, but it's not that easy. These thoughts come at me suddenly like a pack of lions. They aren't the nicest, but I can't control them and I can't control myself as rage boils in my blood.

I feel a sudden urge of anger and thoughts that I want to scream at you, but I can't cause then I'll lose you. My mind only speaks the truth and I want you to listen, but I know you will find it mean, but again I speak nothing but the truth.
