closed mouths don’t get fed

so i should open my mouth more

i feel all my feeling have been stuck

stuck inside with no way of escape

my opinions i keep to myself

so that people dont assume something of me

that isn’t true

if only i was confident

confident enough to speak up

to tell people how i feel

closed mouths don’t get fed.

so i’ll wait here

with my mouth closed

silently starving

yearning for nourishment

something to feed my soul

i’ll keep to myself like i always do

i wont open up to anybody

i wont give them a reason to talk to me

i dont want to be that kind of girl

but you know how it is

when closed mouths don’t get fed
