In the quiet corners where whispers hide,
A silent cry echoes through shadows,
Hidden beneath the veneer of smiles,
A heart bruised by unspoken sorrows.

The weight of words unkindly spoken,
Leaves scars unseen by the naked eye,
Yet in the soul, they carve their mark,
Innocence lost beneath the sky.

Hope flickers like a distant star,
In a night that seems to have no end,
Yet within the darkness, strength is born,
A spirit broken, but on the mend.

From ashes of despair, courage rises,
A phoenix spreading wings anew,
In the dawn of healing, freedom calls,
A journey of resilience, bold and true.
