Unnamed 4

i dig the knife in expecting answerslike pain might speak a language

my thoughts never could

like maybe beneath the skinthere’s something clearer,something honestsomething that explainswhy everything feels so heavy

 

but the silence doesn’t breakit just echoes louder

 

the sharp sting becomes a question markdrawn in trembling linesacross something that never deserved it

 

and for a momentthere is only sensationloud, immediate, undeniabledrowning out the quiet chaos inside

but it doesn’t last

the noise comes backthe weight settles again

nothing solved, nothing spoken

just another markwhere a question once lived

and i realizepain doesn’t translateit doesn’t explainit only repeats

 

and all i’m left holdingis not clarity, not relief

but instead i’m faced with the harsh red of reality
