Tapping~ By Jasminstar Lysaith

12/1/2020

1 Comment

 
Tap, tap, tap…
is the sound my bare footsteps make as I pace back and forth back and forth in my kitchen
thinking

Tap, tap, tap…
my innermost thoughts are trying to escape from the depths of my mind, begging for me to open up

I speak but no one hears me. I’m alone with my thoughts. I’m always alone.

Tap, tap, tap…
the footsteps continue
my pacing becomes more purposeful

With every new step is a new thought spoken out loud for the world to hear,
but is anyone listening?
I wish someone was listening

Tap, tap, tap…
my thoughts keep trying to break free,
but I keep them captive like a prisoner

I’m waiting for the right time
the right person
to let them out

but until then, I keep them guarded
only visiting them every so often

Tap, tap, tap…
they need to come out

the tapping never stops.

someone, please make it stop.
