#HiddenThoughts

In the quiet corners of my mind,
Where secrets dark and silent bind,
Echoes of sorrow softly creep,
In chambers where I dare not weep.

Thoughts that linger, left unsaid,
Silent screams inside my head,
Painted smiles to shield the scars,
While hiding pain behind closed bars.

The world sees laughter, joy, and grace,
But not the battles I must face,
Alone I stand, though souls surround,
My cries for help a muted sound.

Each day a mask, each night a fight,
Hidden thoughts in endless night,
Yearning for the peace I lack,
But lost, with shadows staring back.
