Silent Bleeds

Silent screams, shadows deep within

Hidden scars tell tales of where I've been

Beneath the surface, I wear a mask so thin

Fighting battles no one else could see, no end

Inside, the wounds are bleeding slow

A quiet storm nobody will know

Memories like scars that never fade

Haunting whispers from the choices I've made

Smile on the outside, tears behind my eyes

The pain I hide, a silent, endless cry

Invisible wounds, leaking out in disguise

Still I stand, pretending to be fine

Burning from within, I’m slowly dying

Leaking from the scars I keep denying

Showing everyone that I am okay

While my wounds bleed silently each day

Past mistakes like wounds that never heal

Each scar a story, wounds that I conceal

Fading strength but I wear a brave face

Drowning in shadows I can't erase

Smile on the outside, tears behind my eyes

The pain I hide, a silent, endless cry

Invisible wounds, leaking out in disguise

Still I stand, pretending to be fine

Burning from within, I’m slowly dying

Leaking from the scars I keep denying

Showing everyone that I am okay

While my wounds bleed silently each day

No one sees the darkness bleeding through

A silent battle, I never knew

Hiding all the tears that I can't show

In this quiet pain, I still try to grow

So I’ll wear my mask a little more

Hide the wounds that I can’t ignore

But deep inside, I am breaking apart

A silent struggle, a bleeding heart
