Trapped Thoughts, Emotions, and Words

There are thoughts

Emotions, 

And words

Trapped within me.

They grow more

Each and every day.

And I am not

How I used to be.

I keep those thoughts

Emotions, 

And words

Inside.

Holding on to them

Against my wish.

For my ability in wording 

How I feel

Is giving up on me. 

To the point where I am

Bottling up my emotions

And finding no way out

Of this dryness, 

Yet so suffocating. 

The more space they take up

The more distress I become.

The harder I fight them,

The stronger they push me.
