The Things We Left Unsaid

inaudible desperation

Crying in the bathroom every day, 
I choke on the silence that surrounds me. 
All I ever wanted was for someone to hear, 
To see the pain etched into my weary eyes, 
To notice the cracks in my fragile facade, 
And tell me what to do, 
Because I honestly had no idea.

I’m drowning in my own tears, 
Whispering pleas that go unanswered. 
Every sob is a silent scream, 
A desperate cry for help, 
But the walls only echo back my loneliness. 
No one sees the agony beneath my smile, 
The way I tremble beneath the weight of it all.

I wander through my days, 
Lost in a maze of confusion, 
Hoping someone will reach out, 
Will guide me through the darkness I can’t escape. 
But the world keeps spinning, 
And I’m left behind, 
Invisible, unheard, 
A ghost in my own life.

All I wanted was a hand to hold, 
A voice to tell me it’s okay, 
That I’m not alone in this. 
But no one noticed, 
And I’m left to stumble through the shadows, 
Yearning for the guidance I never received, 
Wishing someone had cared enough to see me.
