Challenge
Silence. Use this word in any context and let your thoughts flow freely. Can be written in any genre.
Don't speak.
Hold it in, hold it in.
"Silence is safety," but my stomach is twisting in knots.
My tongue aching for the words, my mind keeping them just out of reach.
One day all the words strangled down for so long will rise and bubble up and out my throat.
But for now I will stuff them in my heart and lock my ribcage closed.
Better safe than sorry.
