Burst

My tears are my words
Wanting to be spoken but never are,
And I am overwhelmed
By their sheer power
Pressuring, Threatening
To suffocate, to drown me. 
And still the silence remains
Forever a struggle and a barrier
And that's when they find another way.
They are bursting at the seams of my eyes
Pushing through and racing down my face
At a speed and a number, uncountable. 
They are the words I am not able to say.
