You sealed my lips with neon bandages;

So basically, I've been holding back.
I've been letting him control everything and as soon as he wants me to be honest;
It's like I can't remember my lines.
And when I do; I'm invariably wrong.
Biting my tounge isn't worth it.
I feel like I can't win.

Prompt;;
-Base your entry on something I can relate to. Things you don't say. [hint,hint;up there^^^]
or
-Use the contest title.
[Please put your choice in your AN]

If you need further inspiration, I can guarantee that you'll find it in one of my recent poems, so you can check those out too if you like.

Rules;;
-freeverse=browniepoints, but is not required.
-spellcheck is your friend.
-prewrites will only be allowed if you message me for permission. First come-first serve; basically it's the first 20 people to ask. Any other unpermitted prewritten entries will be DQed.
-to ensure you read this junk, please put a link to your page in your AN.


OH!
And if you are on my favorites, I'd really like to hear from you.


Let's get this thing going!
(:

    You sealed my lips with neon bandages, against black and whitened dawn. We close our lives with rounded sleeps and memories of tomorrow.

    On things you DON'T say???? Hmmmm.....I wouldn't know about that. I have a habit of speaking my mind and if they don't like what I have to say it's usually cause they are guilty of something.....So my advice to you is just to speak your mind and if they don't like it find someone that will appreciate you for you and won't mind your speech!!!
