My mouth is sealed



My mouth is sealed.
Albeit, I have alot to say
For I have some pains to erase
As my heart aches I can't explain.

My mouth is sealed.
Agony, struggle and sorrow
are yet to be lifted off my heart
& I could feel their strong grips 'round my neck!

My mouth is sealed,
I have a lot to disclose
Yet, speaking up can take away my breath
For none is there to give a listening ear.

My mouth is sealed,
My stomach's pothole is full with hurtful words.
My tongue is wailing to expose the secret.
My small head pounds   amidst dark thoughts.

My mouth is sealed,
Different thought in my mind
My legs, too heavy to carry my body
As it's heavy than a pregnant woman.
The blood in my veins; metaphor for pains.

My eyes' ocean gush profusely for justice.
Each strand of hair on my body are wearied
Of the heat emitting from my soul.
Alas! I have lost the map to the land of happiness.

All I want is not your crocodile tears;
Taste like honey but on my eyes' tongue, seem salty!
But heartfelt prayers from your teeth's jar
Maybe, in it, I might find a healing temple to hide my worries.
