Yours Truly

lvii. war

-X-

I am voiceless,
I can hear what you say,
But somehow,
No matter what,
You could never hear mine.

Silence is a weapon.
Silence is powerful.
And silence is your loudest scream.

I wanted to say something,
Anything.
But somehow the water was drowning me.
I was drowning.
I was struggling to breathe.
And yet, all you could here from me was, "I am fine."

You never saw the pained expression in every art I make.
You never appreciated all of the efforts whenever I bake.
You never-
But why should you anyway?

I am fighting a war that I knew was pointless.
I am fighting a war even though I am not winning.
I am fighting a war that right from the start I was losing.

Depression is like war,
You either win,
Or you die trying.

-and that I knew of right from the start.
