I wish I could cry, but I feel no tears. I wish I could try—just slowly speak my mind clear. I wish I didn’t have to explain myself every time I feel fear. I believed those who know me would understand— but that was a failure.
Here I am, sitting in quiet despair, while a stranger understands my dilemma— and no words were exchanged there. -Asher Graves
I wrote this piece while reading a poem on Wattpad by lina_ledovskaya. Her writing really struck a chord with me—raw, emotional, and beautifully crafted. If you haven’t read her work yet, I highly recommend checking it out. You won’t regret it.
