Forbidden Pain
She stares at the broken glass
Each piece holding symbols
She can't translate
Symbols of depression, anxiety and grief
Fear of failure
Devoured by pressure
Written in words only she can understand
Fixing the glass over and over again
It breaks ,bruising her fingers
Would she ever escape
Would she ever be happy
Daily words of desperation presses her mind
PRESSURE!!!!! Its screams louder and louder
Anxiety, panic attacks as she holds her head begging the pain to stop
Hidden pain she can't express
Slowly swallows her whole
She can't breathe she can't scream
Left to die left alone
Okoye Divine
