✢────────── 𝔊 ──────────✢ You'll feel better if you say it don't tell me what I'll feel I'm not like everyone else I know what's fake, I know what's real I never said it hurt too much made every echo cut too deep felt the hands, felt snapping bones Damn, I can still feel them when I sleep lung fell in, I thought it was a dream just staring up at blue, praying anybody - Mom, Dad, a stranger, please someone open the door, someone see someone uncement my feet, save me I'm home, I'm safe at home my hero always pulls me back But the hurt still follows me home feel the horn blow, games against my will imagine silencing a voice that speaks daring to call the world by name while fear still tightens when I breathe it makes me want to scream, I did nothing never said a fucking word, never fought back hear others bold enough to say the words but I fold when the pressure cracks maybe it's pride, maybe disgust maybe it's more than I can say I won't say it out loud, so lock the gasp behind a door and walk away hope she hangs in there eventually though she seems to seep through casually thought I saw her shadow on the floor death in the narrow, darkness at the door the door kept me in dark, unsure till I noticed her in smaller things in passing mirrors, waters torn in every reflection fear still sings she lingered in mirrored waters and tore me open, raw and true now she forces my lips apart I lived, so you can too not saying doesn't make it not be I know that - then why silence me? some stories, ugly, left unsaid still haunt the living in the dead some truths may be forgiven, surpassed some fears may finally lose their hold but silence doesn't bury what happened it only leaves the story untold ✢────────── 𝔊 ──────────✢ Written in 𝔊ray © 2026 ✢──────────────────────✢
