In the Shadows of Worth

In the Shadows of Worth In the silence of my mind, a whisper takes flight, A shadow that lingers, consuming the light. I walk through each day with a heavy disguise, Behind a brave smile, the sadness still lies. I search for my worth in the echoes of pain, In the moments I falter, the doubts like a chain. The mirror reflects what I fear to embrace, A fragile existence, a fading trace. Each heartbeat a question, a longing for grace, Yet the weight of my sorrow feels hard to erase. In the tapestry woven with threads of despair, I wonder if anyone notices I’m there. Some days feel endless, a cycle of gloom, Lost in the shadows, my heart is a tomb. I wish I could see what others might find, A flicker of hope, a spark in my mind. But here I am, drifting, a ship lost at sea, I'm wondering if worth is reserved just for me. In this vast world, can I carve out a place, Or am I forever trapped in this lonely space? Yet somewhere within, a flicker remains, A whisper of courage that breaks through the chains. So I’ll search for the light, though the journey is long, In the depths of my sorrow, I’ll strive to be strong
