When they look at my wretched face that is barely able to fake a smile, they repeatedly ask me, "What's wrong, did something happen? Why do you look so sad? Why won't you speak?". I move my mouth to speak but I am unable to do so due to the pain which is stuck inside my throat. Also, I know that it's futile to try and explain to these people because I've tried before many times to let my voice be heard. The ironic thing is that the ones who're asking me if I'm okay, are the people who're causing me to suffer. They are the ones who took my voice away. While they act like they are concerned about me, I can clearly see that their eyes are laughing at me. I honestly want to run away while screaming from these people. I'm going crazy. I'm all messed up because of all these intense feelings stored deep inside of me which cannot come out;if it does, I know that I will turn into a monster like them. So, I try to contain these emotions within me as everything around me tries to smother me and I can see only pitch black.
