Beneath the Surface

A quiet world inside my head, Where thoughts unspoken softly tread. A smile I wear, a careful guise, To shield the truth behind my eyes. Fear of what others might perceive. This silent fight, it takes its toll, A heavy weight upon my soul. Longing for connection, pure and deep, While secrets that I cherish, I keep. Is there a space where I belong? Each fragile step, a hopeful sign, To mend the cracks, to realign. Learning to trust the gentle sway, To let my spirit light the way. And bravely face the coming dawn.
