"I Am the Quiet That Screams"

I am the silence after the storm,

The echo that hums when the world moves on.

I am the tear you didn't see fall,

The whisper behind your bravest song.

I am the laugh that hides the ache,

The smile stitched with careful seams.

I am the one who walks away—

I am the quiet that screams.

I carry storms in folded hands,

Wounds I never let you name.

I drink the rain before it lands

And bear the weight without the flame.

You saw me soft, but never whole,

Mistook my calm for being tame.

You never knew the fire inside—

The burning that I never blame.

I learned to bloom with no applause,

To dance with ghosts that never leave.

To hold my heart like fragile glass,

And dream of skies I can’t believe.

So if you find me one still night

With galaxies behind my eyes,

Know that I have battled long—

My silence is where power lies.

If these words found a corner of your soul, leave a heart ❤️ or share it with someone quietly strong. Your voice matters—even in silence.
