The Cacophony Within
I ponder why my soul is thus,
Why must I scream to be heard,
Why do I feel remorseful after speaking,
Why does home not feel like home despite their words?
My parents declare their love for me,
Yet I still believe I'm the issue,
Why do my siblings think only I'm causing them discomfort,
Why do I still feel embarrassed after expressing myself?
It's not because my expression is peculiar,
It's not because my words are rough,
It's because I feel like no one will comprehend me,
So I shout to make myself heard.
I wish I could sew my lips shut,
So that no words would escape,
I wish I could handle it better,
Without being overwhelmed by the situation.
I wish I could flee far away,
And live in peace without any disturbance.
