scream
. Here's the complete poem, "Scream": _In the shadows, silence wraps me tight,_ _A double fear that grips my night._ _Expression trembles, words unspoken stay,_ _And abundance feels like a weight I can't convey._ _They say 'be happy, smile for me',_ _But they don't see the scars I hide._ _I wear a mask, a fragile guise,_ _Hiding tears, and silent cries._ _Even friends don't grasp the weight I bear,_ _That life's not just sunshine, but endless rain._ _I try to speak, but words fall flat,_ _Leaving me with just a painted smile, and a heart that's cracked._ _They label me 'depressed', but don't understand,_ _The complexity of a soul with a thousand wounds._ _I wear a mask, a painted smile,_ _Hiding the chaos, the inner trial._ _No one sees the war I'm fighting inside,_ _Just the calm face, the carefully crafted disguise._ _The only thing I have left is to scream_ _But no one is listening, I scream_ _But the only thing they say is that I'm dramatic_ _In which they don't know how deeply it's hurts_ _To carry this weight_ _I scream, but echoes fall on deaf ears,_ _'You're just being dramatic,' they say,_ _Unaware of the weight that draws my tears,_ _The burden I carry, night and day._
