A Whisper and A Cry is about all the stuff I can't say out loud, all the pain I keep trapped inside. It's the anger, the sadness, the nights I lie awake and my head won't stop spinning, the times I just want to scream but nothing comes out. It's about watching my dad fight his own depression, seeing him hurt and struggle, feeling him break under the weight of everything, and feeling so helpless because I couldn't fix it. I wanted to take his pain away, to make him okay again, but I couldn't, and that hurt even more. It's about holding it all in, pretending to be fine, while inside I'm cracking, trying to survive when everything around me feels broken. It's dark, messy, raw, and real, like every feeling I try to hide is screaming at me at once. This is about grief, heartbreak, and silence, about seeing the people you love hurt, and learning that surviving sometimes just means making it through the next second.
