Silence

I want to scream,
But something is holding me back.
I want to let out all of the pain,
but I can't.
I want to vocalize how I'm feeling,
but I can't find the words.
I can't scream
I can't let a sound escape
I don't know how
Everything is locked in tight
Dead bolted
And padlocked
I can't find the key
And my screams are permanently locked in
As well as my pain
I've been caged from day one
And I can't seem to find a way out
Every time I go to scream
Nothing comes out
I'm silent
As always
My silence has turned into scars
I've been locked away for so long
And I'm so used to my voice being unheard
I've started screaming to myself
And let me tell you
Those screams are horrifying
