Exposed?

(A) decade squandered in dread lost to shadows that never asked permission. (N)egativity seeped in, a silent trespasser carving itself into my marrow. (X)-rays reveal nothing, yet the ache hums beneath my ribs like a buried scream. (I) stir in constant panic, clawing at the edges of a moment unraveling in my hands. (E)ntrapped by an existential shadow, pressing against bloodshot eyes like a veil of lead. (T)ortured by potential, by shame, by echoes of what will never be spoken. (Y)earning for escape, but the exit is a mirage, dissolving before I can touch it.
