I Am Sadness


I am Sadness…
Buried deep within quiet hearts,
Where even light dares not stay.

Smiles are fragile masks,
Hiding truths left unspoken,
Fading into silence.

They bury my whispers in silence,
Pretending I never exist—
Yet I linger in shadows.

And when I rise…
Even silence trembles,
Powerless to resist. ??
