Original Poetry Fan Fiction ❯ Breaking the Wall ❯ One-Shot

[ A - All Readers ]

No, I'm not fine. No, everything isn't alright.
I want to tell you, but the words won't come out.
I want you to ask me, just one more time.
Maybe then I'll be able to say. To speak.
 
But you don't.
 
Why should you?
Why would you?
You've asked me, I told you.
I said I was fine.
 
What reason would you have?
When you see the smile on my face,
The brightness of my voice.
The sincerity of my words.
 
None of it's real,
But how can I say?
There's nothing wrong, but it isn't alright.
How do I tell you when I don't understand?
 
I want you to ask me, just one more time.
So I can let out the pressure that's growing within.
The final question, the final blow.
The jolt that shatters the wall, that lets it come out.
 
My own hand covers my mouth.
Stopping the words, blocking the flow.
How can it be that I stop myself?
Stop myself from saying what I need?
 
None of this makes sense,
Not even to me,
Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's gone.
The words I need to say, the words you cannot hear.
 
Listen closely,
Break the wall and hear my heart.
