Ephemeral Rhythms

unspoken

unspoken

i wanted to scream to share my pain
and tell the world... that i am drained
my voice wanted to speak up,
it wanted to shout, "life is really tough!"
i wished to weep in front of the crowd
to express my pain very clear and loud.
i craved for a break, just a moment to breathe
to unveil my thoughts, a desperate sheath.

but no words escaped, it was all stuck
it remained a silent pain, i'm so out of luck
just wanted to be heard, but words won't start
bottled inside, tearing my whole heart
i dreamed for someone to comprehend,
but how to speak what is hard to mend?
at the end of the day, the pain concealed
pretended to be fine again, all were unrevealed.

When all you wanted to do was scream at the top of your lungs just to let everyone knows how exhausted and drained you were, you wanted to cry so loud because of how tough this life is. But you found yourself stuck in this weird silence, as if your voice had gotten lost in the shuffle of life. You're longing to spill your guts, to let out all the pent-up frustration and pain, but no matter how hard you tried, you couldn't find the right words. It was like the pain was stuck inside you, tearing your heart and there's nothing you can do. You wished someone could understand, but it was just too hard to explain. It was like speaking a different language and nobody else can get it, so at the end, you kept it all inside, and pretended that everything was okay again, and no one really noticed. It remained unrevealed, unspoken..
