Unspoken
I, like a novel, am so full of words. My mind swims in the ocean
of countless what ifs. I am so deeply in love with this life, yet a
portion of my heart aches at each breath. There is much, too much,
I wish to say; yet, the taste of blood lingers in my mouth from
too often biting my tongue.
I refuse to be lost; instead, I am searching. The sun
rises each morning, and I rise with it. I allow the
warmth to touch my face like a familiar friend.
My thoughts overcome me in waves as though
I am drowning, and my tongue grows as rough as sand.
Perhaps I can place myself in these lines on the page,
ignite the fire in my veins and use them as flares to tell
others that I am still here tossed on the sea of my thoughts.
God willing, I will find a way to remain no longer silent,
and with each word, guide other castaways to shore.

Hey great read. Unspoken words can seem as splinters of regret. Especially when the time to say them. Doesn't have their relieving moment of expression.
Thank you, and yes exactly.

Hello, Bailey.
Congratulations on your recent contest achievement.
Great use of enjambment permeates your write all throughout.
Wonderfully well written featuring excellent use of metaphor.
Eloquently worded, powerful–creation of some fantastic imagery here.
The last line of your final stanza is a real show stopper.
Again, a hearty congrats on you win.
