In shadows deep, where silence lies,
A soul concealed, with hidden cries.
I stand before the world, a facade so strong,
While inside I crumble, feeling so wrong.

Like porcelain fragile, I start to crack,
Yet I keep pretending, never looking back.
A scream echoes within, a desperate plea,
But the abyss swallows, consuming me.

Oh, how I long for a gentle touch,
To share my burden, to feel so much,
Yet the mask remains, firmly in place,
Concealing the torment I can't erase.

In every smile, a river of tears,
In every laugh, a battlefield of fears.
My heart weeps silently, unseen, unheard,
As I navigate a world, so absurd.

How can they fathom the depths I hide,
The shattered fragments I try to confide?
I yearn for solace, for understanding embrace,
To unravel the chaos, to find my own space.

But words fail to capture the pain I endure,
The weight of emotions I strive to ensure,
So I pen this verse, a glimpse of my strife,
Hoping it echoes through the corridors of life.

May these words resonate, pierce through the air,
And touch hearts deeply, souls laid bare.
For in our brokenness, we find connection,
A testament to our shared imperfection.

So if you're wearing a smile, yet breaking within,
Know that I see you, your battles akin.
Together we'll navigate this chaotic sea,
And heal the fractures, embrace the free.

For within the darkness, a flicker of light,
A symphony emerges, a melody takes flight.
So let us be brave, face the storm's wrath,
And find solace in knowing, we're not alone on this path.
