it is necessary to keep quiet
by Emily Davidsoni have never had to
hide
how i felt
about anything
before
but when you decide you're
sort of, kind of, just a little bit
in love
with a woman who you shouldn't be with
for more reasons than you can count on your
fingers and toes,
it is necessary to keep quiet
but she makes me
want to sing
and scream
and laugh
and cry
none of which are quiet actions
so at night
when the world sleeps
i make all the noise i want
and keep quiet
