You stitch my lips shut
with your insults and lies.
I cannot even whisper my truth,
the needle purses the flesh tight.
My mind is banging from the inside,
fearful of the consequences of silence.
But my heart cannot find the scissors
to slash open my eyes.
Very beautifully done. The outward forces that silence can be so hard to fight against. Silence... So well put.

Other than the "heart" Npaub it resonates. There is more to your situation than the Cardiovascular. The piece is good. And is personal and universal.
thank you-
