Silent Battles

Silent whispers in the dark, echoes of a hidden scar

Struggling with the weight of my own mind afar

Wanna break free, wanna shout, but I keep it all inside

This battle in my soul, where hope and pain collide

Feeling all alone, trapped inside my head

Memories and tears, a quiet storm, tears I’ve shed

Friends say they care, but I wear this mask

Hiding every ache behind a fragile ask

Every day’s a fight to stay afloat

Pretending I’m fine but losing hope

In this silent scream, I’m crying out

Wondering if life’s worth the drought

I’m tired of pretending I’m okay

Holding on to fears I can’t say

Lost in the shadows, craving light

Searching for strength to fight the night

Can someone see beyond the smile?

Break through this lonely mile?

I want to believe I can survive

Find my way back, keep my dream alive

So I’ll breathe in, hope to find my way

One step at a time, another day

Though I feel broken and worn, I’ll try

To find the strength to say goodbye

Feel free to reach out, I’m not alone

Together we can find a home

Though the pain may never fade

I’ll keep fighting my own crusade
