In the stillness of a quiet room,
Lies the echo of a muted scream,
The heart beats a somber tune,
Against the tide of an invisible stream.

Faces masked in gentle smiles,
Hide the pain of unseen scars,
Each day they walk a thousand miles,
Beneath the weight of silent wars.

Whispers float on the breath of night,
Stories told in shadows cast,
Courage found in the dimmest light,
Fighting battles that forever last.

With every dawn that breaks anew,
Hope is born in fragile hearts,
A strength that’s known by very few,
In the silent battles, love imparts.
