Beneath The Silence

 I get attached too fast, I love hard but feel it too deeply.

I hear the silence in people's words,

Notice every detail, the shift of emotions that lingers,

Creeping slowly like a cat, ready to pounce on a rat.

I show emotion to the people who break me apart,

So can I start from the start?

But every emotion hits me like I'm underneath the boulder.

I know I'm still healing from the inside,

But it takes time to know your worth.

To know if this is truly yourself

Or shapeshifting just to try to smile.

To run a mile seems more efficient than to open up,

But healing takes time, so trust that this all is a plan

For something bigger and better for you.
