invisible lines

tried to find your voice

but it slipped away

you're always on the edge

of saying what you want to say

you wanted to

breakthrough

and you attempted to

over and over again

but it's always, always the same

kept behind the

invisible lines

time and time again

you want to let 

your thoughts be known

but you stay in check

because you're so worried

about what they all think

but I think that

maybe someday

you'll be brave enough to ask

the questions that scare people

and the words that are

engraved in your heart

the words that have begged

to fall out of your mouth

will finally

escape

-T.H.
