#Quiet

[dontwanturfeelins]

i say them very quietly,

where no one can hear me,

where no one can judge,

no eyes reach for mine,

no brows furrow at my words,

no voices conflict my mind,

i say them quietly,

not daring to speak up,

i say to myself,

at least i am safe,

at least i am safe,

at least i am here.

// i have already betrayed myself
