The roar
The heart yells and yells to no avail,
Wanting to be heard,
Wanting to be understood-
But it knows no one can hear it above the roar,
It yells out wanting something its not sure of its sincerity,
Till its voice grows hoarse.
But that doesn't stop the heart,
No-
It doesn't, not when its been in a far worse place-
Not when its seen other hearts go through far worse
But it wants to-
It wants to cry so bad but it knows if it does no one will hear it over the roar.

Your Poem's Voice
Personal emotional struggle with abstract existential isolation and unheard voice.
Multiple layered ideas: desperation, futility, resilience, pain compressed densely.
Deeply negative: futility, hoarseness, unheard cries, existential despair throughout.
High-intensity repetition of 'yells,' 'roar,' urgent kinetic emotional language.
Approximately 12-13 lines; falls in 7-15 range.
Personification of heart, metaphorical roar, symbolic voice and silence imagery.
Pure lyric internal voice; introspective meditation on heart's inner state.
