Trapped

These thoughts run
I try to catch
Make sense
But it hurts

The sharp gaze
Quietness
I try to release
But it hurts

Implore, beg
No response
I try to be cold
But it hurts

Move away,
Immerse in words
I try to forget
But it hurts

The sharp pain
In my chest
On my face
As I pretend
Unaffected
Unable to cry
I try to relax
But it hurts

I learned that the best way
Is to breathe
Keep your voice down
Listen,
Try to be heard,
Not get angry,
Try to understand

And I try so hard
I try everyday
I don't stop trying
But it hurts,
It still hurts
