Things Never Stated

by Mukesh Williams

I have never said what I wanted to say
And I wonder
Who will say what I wanted to say.

I have muffled my words
With your rapturous clapping
To acknowledge your support,

I have repressed my presence
To endorse your perspective
Lest you get offended.

Since I have not said what I wanted to say
For a long time
My thoughts now elude me,

Even my absences from your presence
Are hard to recall,
Who can say what I wanted to say?

Now suspense hangs over my monologue
Like cosmic smoke
Hiding me completely.
