The Words I Can't Say

There are so many things I want to say,
but can’t.
I wonder why I hold myself back,
yet I know.
If I said everything on my mind,
how many people would end up hurt?
Do I hold myself in check so much though,
that I’m actually hurting myself?
When do they become words I can’t say,
instead of words I shouldn't say,
words I won’t say?
