I was trying to scream through

‎I was trying to scream through layers of pain, ‎But my voice was trapped, like a bird in a cage. ‎I wanted to shout, to cry, to let it all out, ‎But the words got stuck, like a knot in a rope. ‎ ‎The pain was a mountain, tall and steep, ‎I couldn't climb it, couldn't even creep. ‎It weighed me down, like a heavy stone, ‎I felt like I was drowning, alone. ‎ ‎I was trying to scream, but it was hard to breathe, ‎The pain was suffocating, like a tightening sleeve. ‎I wanted to break free, to let go and scream, ‎But the fear held me back, like a ghost in a dream. ‎ ‎I was trying to scream, but the silence was loud, ‎It was a reminder of my pain, of my solitude. ‎But still I tried, with all my might, ‎To find my voice, to shine a light. ‎
