mouth wide shut

I can't open my mouth
for fear that the truth will come out
of me, an acrid mixture of hope and desperation
surging forth from a discontent soul

Sometimes there's nothing more to be said,
a phrase that fills me with dread -
"it is what it is"
the stopper to opportunity, ambition to bed.
