In the silence of the night, shadows creep,
Whispers of pain that no one hears,
Beneath the surface, secrets we keep,
Drowning in a sea of unseen tears.

Bruises hidden under layers of lies,
Smiles that mask the sorrow deep,
Eyes that tell a thousand cries,
In a world where monsters never sleep.

Hearts shattered by the weight of fear,
Souls yearning for a touch of light,
In the darkness, no one draws near,
Lost in an endless, silent fight.

Yet hope lingers in the faintest glow,
A promise that someday peace will be,
From the ashes, we will grow,
Breaking chains, setting spirits free.
