Swallowing my words

Staring at the floor

Counting little cracks in the tile

Struggling to smile without choking

Learning to be silent

Watching how the dust

Dances out the door

Noticing my hands start to shake

Contemplating taking up smoking

Learning to be silent

Always hearing

Hush Ethel

Please Vi

Let's not have this conversation

And so I stand by

While my mind takes a small vacation

La la la la la la la la

Making little sounds

Other folks ignore

Quieting the beat of my heart

Never being part of the moment

Learning to be silent

Learning there are some topics that

we don't even mention

And if they come up

then we try to be vague

There are subjects

from which we divert all attention

And some we avoid like the plague

I'm Becoming a mime

Biting my tongue

Biding my time

Trying not to scream

Managed it before

Knowing if I'm going to survive

Then dammit

I've got to practice

Practice

Learning hmm hmm hmm
