Words and Silence

There are words on the tip of my tongue.

But to silence, I've clung.

There are words of happiness,

Words of grief and sorrow.

Words that I'll never be able to tell tomorrow

The world is changing and the future is coming near.

Closer and closer, I find something to fear.

I fear the world as it crumbles beneath our feet.

The news brings the anguish of the street.

I fear to never be complete.

Words have failed me again.

When I can't say what I feel to family or a friend.

I fear my end when there is nothing more to the world I can send.

But until the future will commence,

I will hang onto my safe silence.
