"in english we say: they don't understand me. but in poetry we say.." (prompt) they don’t understand me not the weight i carry beneath my ribs the silent battles no one sees the nights when my mind won’t quiet down they hear the words i say but not the tremble behind my voice the cracks spreading in my chest like fractures no one knows how to mend i am drowning in invisible storms waves of anxiety crashing without end a prisoner to thoughts that twist and turn a ghost in a world too bright, too loud they ask why i’m broken but never ask how i try to hold myself together how each breath is a small victory how every step feels like walking on shards so i hide behind a smile a mask worn thin with time because they don’t understand me not the storm, the silence, the fight within #prompt ❤️
