In the quiet corridors of life, shadows fall,
Whispers of secrets, echoes of cries,
Faces masked with smiles, hiding all,
The pain that lingers, the silent goodbyes.

A battle fought in silence, unseen,
Hearts heavy with the weight of despair,
Dreams shattered, lives caught in between,
The fragile hope, hanging in the air.

Love and loss intertwined in the dark,
The strength to fight, the courage to stand,
Against the tide, leaving a mark,
Holding on tightly to a helping hand.

Together we rise, breaking the chains,
With compassion, with understanding,
Lighting the path through the pains,
A world united, ever expanding.
