The Weight of Unspoken Words
When the mood is too heavy to wear, When emotions are salted and laid bare,Insecurity creeps on a whispering tread, An echo of shadows where courage once fled.
The slash of shame, a knife so sharp, Carves a wound in life’s fragile spark.Rejected dreams, a wing torn apart, Colors once bright now desert the heart.
Loneliness, unseen and unsought, it stalks, In aching silence, its chill always talks.It weighs like a shroud, heavy and stark, Thunderstorms rage, wild and unbowed in the dark.
But words, both fragile and mighty, ignite, Parting the darkness with shimmering light.The unspoken tremble beneath the fear, Yet hold the chains of bonds sincere.
When harsh words take root, their seeds grow, Vines of doubt climb where sunlight won’t go.Dismissive voices, cruel and unkind, Sink fragile dreams in a stormy mind.
Another face, invisible, yet still in the fray, Battles the unseen, struggles each passing day.So let words flow with care, with love, For silent battles, they’re mindful of.
Understanding is not always blind, Emotions weave threads, so tenderly aligned.In the maze of feelings, where hearts are bound, Solace in kindness is always found.
