Hold your breath
Tell a whisper
Make the sound of silence
Become the dream I see
White teeth show
Lips curl and tongue shows
Words show truth in the dark
We only know how to speak one way
Behind light
We hide and speak
With no regrets or somber

This is one of the worst poems I've ever written lol. I like how everyone critiques and doesn't tell me what's wrong with it. It's here so people can tell me how to fix it :)

I don't like this poem. No offense. I don't think it's written very well.
