Thoughts
There’s a million words inside her head
But only a few are ever said
The rest just drawn before sunset
Or run through her mind as she goes to bed
Some are questions, some are dreads
Some are comebacks she never said
Some are things she never meant
To say in the way they may interpret
But most of all, are the regrets
The things she should have done back then
At the time that it would have been best
Than sitting here now only to repent.
Her only wish is to change for the best
For herself, to follow through to the end
So the people who love her can finally rest
After supporting her though their expectations weren’t met.
This poem perfectly captures the heavy burden of overthinking and the weight of unspoken words. The lines about the 'million words inside her head' and the 'comebacks she never said' are incredibly relatable. It’s deeply emotional and beautifully written. Great start to the collection, Trisha! Can't wait to read more.
This is such a powerful piece. I love how beautifully you expressed the internal battle between silence, regret and the ultimate wish for self-improvement. The flow is wonderful, and the emotion behind your words is so raw. Beautiful work!
nice so far
