Muted

My thoughts are left unsaid
my opinions ars locked up in my head
should have blurted it out and heed
but I remain silent instead.

I know someone who is master of deception
by faking sympathy with others and taking in her art of manipulation
I could have warn them but I'm not in the right position
so I keep my mouth shut to avoid confrontation.

There is a man who acts rudely and has a sharp tongue
and whenever he opens his mouth, he speaks without a qualm
I could have reprimand him and teach him how to be calm
coz he hurts everybody with his words, but I dare not aproach him for fearing to de damned.

A friend of mine speaks highly of herself and had so much arrogance
I want to reproach her but I did not take the chance
coz I know if I correct her she would not understand
so I keep my thoughts to myself to keep our bond.

Now the people around me keep judging my acts constantly
and one of them always find fault in everything I do and criticise my personality
I want to stop them coz their words are seriously affecting me
But my words are left unsaid and all I can do is to self-pity.

It's hard knowing what to say but could'nt say it
Even if it's ones own feeling is at stake, I had to control "it"
I may .not be a fool but sometimes I could only afford cowardice
coz sometimes the freedom of speech comes with a greater price.
