"Pain Spoken"
We've heard
The expression "unspeakable pain".
Some say to suffer
Admirably is to "suffer in silence";
Stoically resist the urge (need?)
To scream.
No mute button suffices.
My pain, none particular,
Speaks - often. Seldom
Softly. Rambles at times.
Blazing, boisterous, brassy speech.
Yet privately. Just to me.
To be at its most authoritative,
The unsaid must remain unheard
By others.
Approval then roars.
