'But if you could see her truth, if you could peel back the illusion of normalcy, you’d find her mouth mutilated—stitched shut by her own trembling hands, a cruel needle made of shame and thread soaked in self-doubt. Not to punish herself, but to protect the world from her "wrongness."
She didn’t want to hurt anyone else ever again.
So she chose silence.'

This is a 16x20 acrylic painting with other mixed media elements. It features a hidden message in the background viewable with black light that reads-
 
'This is the final apology- I didnt want to make you cry, I only ever asked you why. And when I saw I made things worse, I laid my voice inside a hearse. If I could speak one final line, Id say "I love You, I just tried." But every echo breaks and bends when spoken by the Silent Dead.'
