Wasted Breath

My lips are pursed.
The storms are brewing.
I feel contempt
For things that others
Deem acceptable.

If I open my mouth
To express myself,
All hell will break loose.
Is it worth the turmoil
And heartache
For only a few minutes gratification?
Nothing I say
Will make a change.
My breath is spent,
Yet it is wasted.
As precious as breath can be

Who gave me the right to throw it away?
