Inner Silence Broken By Depression
No one knows how this feels
Inner Silence Broken By Depression
A hollow ache that fills the day,
A weight that never leaves,
Where light once danced,
now shadows stay,
And silence pulls and grieves.
The mirror shows a tired face,
A soul worn thin and grey,
Each smile a fragile,
fleeting trace,
Of strength that fades away.
In the quiet,
whispers grow,
Dark thoughts that cloud the mind,
Where hope was once a steady glow,
Now emptiness you find.
The heart beats slow,
a heavy sound,
As if it’s lost its way,
In this quiet, broken ground,
The light seems far away.
Tears fall, though none are seen,
A river running dry,
Behind the mask,
the space between
The quiet and the cry.
In the stillness,
you’re alone,
A fight you cannot win,
Yet in the depths, a seed is sown,
A spark that hides within.
So pick up slowly,
fight this fight,
Give it all you’ve got,
In your heart, there’s endless light.
You’ll find the strength you’ve forgot.
