Echoes of Silent Tears

When the heart breaks in silence, words become the only refuge.

By Emma Published 6 months ago 1 min read

I buried my voice in quiet places,

where no one dared to look.

Smiles became my armor,

but inside I was breaking—

piece by fragile piece.

I held the storms for everyone,

but no one saw my drowning.

They called me strong,

yet I was only surviving,

barely breathing.

There were nights I begged the sky,

“Please, just let me disappear.”

But even the stars stayed silent,

like the people I loved most.

And now, I write…

because it’s the only way

to let the tears speak

when my lips cannot.

Thanks For Reading 💜💜💜
