In whispers, the shadows speak,
Words that wrap around the soul,
Invisible chains that bind,
Leaving marks no eyes can find.
A smile hides the silent screams,
Echoes of a heart confined,
Love twisted into fear,
Hope fades as darkness nears.
Trust erodes with every lie,
Promises turn to dust,
In the mirror, a stranger stares,
Lost in a fog of mistrust.
Yet through the cracks, light seeps,
Courage whispers, “Break free,”
The heart rediscovers its song,
Healing where it belongs.
