The Weight of Silence

A heavy heart, a weary mind, Trapped in shadows, hard to find. A silent storm, a hidden plight, A soul obscured, devoid of light. Each day a battle, a constant strife, A fragile hope, a fleeting life. The world moves on, indifferent, cold, As loneliness takes its weary hold. A mask of smiles, a forced facade, A hidden anguish, a heavy load. A plea for solace, a desperate cry, A yearning for peace, a reason why.
