In the quiet shadows where whispers fade,
Lives entwine with secrets unafraid.
A silent battle, unseen and profound,
In hearts and veins, it quietly resounds.

Beneath the surface, courage takes its stand,
A fight for life with every hand.
The world moves on, but they remain,
Bearing the weight of invisible chains.

Eyes that gleam with undying hope,
Through the storm, they learn to cope.
With every breath, a story untold,
Of love and loss, of hearts so bold.

So let us see beyond the veil,
And hear the stories they regale.
For in their strength, we find our own,
In every shadow, a light is shown.
