THE VOICE OF SILENCE
A voice on stage that speaks to all,
Yet echoes settle deep in me.
The laughter rising through the hall
Conceals what no one dares to see.
A single life… with double faces,
Smiles outside, within — decay.
Feelings burn in hidden places,
Till fire resigns to ash and grey.
They say, “Be real, let yourself be known,”
Yet truth still trembles, stays concealed.
A face that aches to stand alone,
Remains behind what’s never revealed.
The voice falls quiet… yet speaks within,
Where darker shades begin to rise.
A heart that shelters nameless sins,
Behind unspoken lies.
A house untouched by any light,
Where feelings breathe but never show.
One gate that guards it, sealed tight,
Known only to what lies below.
Once warm, these echoes turned to cold,
Silence now their only friend.
Every story left untold,
Every message never sent.
And all they’ve ever truly heard…
Was never said… yet still endured.
