"You have the right
To remain silent
Please consider it"

Well I've done more
Than consider it
I'm totally overexercising it
Dangerously mute
That's what I call it
It's when you have so much
You want to say
So much you want
To tell
So many words building up
Inside of you
But you can't
You're too shy
Too afraid
Of people resenting you
And judging you
Thank God for paper
Thank God for pens
Thank God for the
Internet
Your only way out
Your only release
But you're still
Dangerously mute

I just moved to a new school and I'm still having trouble finding the right things to say...so I don't say anything at all.
