Shadows of Judgment

The Silent Struggle in Society's Gaze

In a world where rumors proliferate, where every step is a performance, society's eyes are always wide open, judging souls from the outside.

Faces disguised, hearts hidden

Afraid of being judged, truths are kept hidden, dreams crushed beneath the weight of stares

Nobody dares to speak up.

By Hrant Khachatryan on Unsplash

A lonely wail through the throng

Seeking refuge and wondering, "Why?"

But, in this scrutinizing world, it's difficult to find a safe place to confide.

Still, a sliver of optimism remains.

For one day, we'll break free and fly.

Until then, we will stand tall against condemnation, for the beauty of individuality outweighs all.
