Forest

 

There are so many things I never say out loud, many scars that I mask,  

Until they grow into forest of trees within my tiny body 

Every time I swallow tears, thick branches start, 

bearing fleshy fruit and trembling leaves 

When I choke on untold words, the roots tug at my heart,

burying themselves deeper and deeper into wild grass

I have a massive forest full of vibrant stories to tell ;   

You know, 

Inside my body grows a forest of things that I never say out loud
