I Don't Like Being Quiet by Tess Segal

Being quiet feels like the firework of opinion and thought is being suppressed despite its need to shine

Being quiet sounds like the deafening shriek of silence

It looks like a deep, dark ocean from which I cannot escape

It smells like gunpowder being brutally forced into containment

It feels like every minute I'm not expressing myself is another labored step towards doom

It tastes like an accidental drip of glow stick -- seemingly beautiful but pungently toxic

...I really don't like being quiet.
