Why can't I write?

Where have the words gone?

Where has my voice gone?

I try to write

but no pain can escape.

Who would understand anyway?

Who would care?

I have pain taped to my walls

and my parents didn't notice.

So why would you?

Who cares

about my voice

silently calling

when others

are verbally screaming.

I'm hiding

while they're trying.

Why can't I write?

Have I finally given up?

I know I'm not good

but it always helped.

So why not now?

My cuts are gone.

He talks away my depression.

I write for him

but it isn't the same.

I don't care anymore.

But I want to try

for all my readers

who answer when I ask why.

Sorry I've been gone

when you wait patiently.

If you ever need to talk,

I'm coming back slowly.
