It isn't fear
That keeps me trapped inside
For I would love nothing more
Than to speak my mind
It is just the risk
Of someone hearing me

I gotcha man. Haha, I really liked the message of this poem. One good tip is to use analogies to keep the thoughts flowing. If you were going for a jagged tone you can use more seperated analogies :)
