“What I Can’t Say”

I carry a silence too heavy to name,

grief stitched into my skin like flame.

Each day breaks like a bruised sunrise 

I rise, but never quite live.


There’s a scream inside I never let slip,

a memory that bites with every breath.

No words, no space to spill this ache,

just smiles I fake, and nights I break.
