In the quiet corners of my mind
Thoughts sit heavy, unnamed, unkind.
Not loud enough to beg or cry
Just deep enough to ask me why.
I walk with questions, slow and bare
Wearing truths I'm scared to share
The world speaks fast, I answer slow
I feel too much, yet rarely show.
Some wounds don't bleed, they only stay
They teach the heart a different way
To smile right, to break inside
To live with storms we choose to hide.
Silence knows the things I'm not
The dreams I lost, the faith I fought
It holds my fears, it keeps them real
It understands the way I feel.
If someday words escape this skin,
And light breaks where dark's been living in -
Know this soul was never weak
It just learned to speak in deep.
