I cannot bring certain matters of my heart out into the open. Similarly, there are some tears that I am unable to shed.

This couplet speaks to the profound internal struggle of the heart. Sometimes, the emotions are so deep, so private, that they defy expression. The poet, Amrut Ghayal, beautifully captures the feeling of having words trapped inside, or tears that refuse to fall. It’s the silence of the soul when it has too much to say, but no way to speak it. A truly relatable feeling of emotional confinement.
