Silently Fighting

I can't speak. My lips are sealed. My thoughts are overflowing but they can't come out. No sound leaves my mouth. The thoughts are fighting to become words. But they can't leave. My lips won't speak. The thoughts are screaming, shouting, fighting. But my lips don't give in. I stay silent but in my head I'm screaming, crying. But how would anyone know? They can't look inside my head.

Mornings at the Pool

You may or may not know that I'm a swimmer and although swim season with school has ended, a few others and I still go swimming three times a week in the mornings before school. Sometimes under certain circumstances I'm unable to get in the pool so I just sit next to it and watch the others. And then a thought occurred to me. Since I had to draw in my sketchbook for AP Art anyways, I thought I might as well do something with the time I spend sitting next to the pool watching the others.
