The Silent Struggles
No one knows
how much you’re struggling
until it’s too late,
when the weight of it all
is a shadow too heavy to carry.
No one understands
how hard it is to speak
the unspeakable,
to let the words fall
like fragile glass
shattering across silence.
Your pain
is a quiet echo,
a storm that no one hears
until it’s raging.
Your feelings
are a tangled mess,
each thread too delicate
to untangle
without losing something.
Your thoughts
are clouds in the sky,
drifting aimlessly,
afraid to settle
for fear of being caught
Your dreams
are whispers in the dark,
fading just as you reach for them,
too distant to touch
but too close to forget.
And still,
you carry them,
the weight that no one sees,
the quiet that fills the spaces
where words should be.
you wait
until you realize
that maybe there will be
no moment
to speak.
