Don’t speak your mind, they say
It’s undiplomatic, it’s not the way;
But my heart is hurting
where do I end up bleeding?
If not through my words,
how to release these emotions like birds
to ease the raw pain
of an empathetic soul – this bane
needs a voice, hence this choice
to speak my mind to unburden my heart
unencumbered, let there be art.
