In the vast expanse of my troubled mind,

There lie secrets, tangled and intertwined.

Whispers unsaid, locked within my core,

Silent echoes of words forevermore.

For some things are better left unsaid,

Held in the chambers where darkness spreads.

Words unspoken, like ghosts they haunt,

A fragile balance that I choose to flaunt.

Behind my eyes, a universe untold,

Stories and confessions that I tightly hold.

The weight of truths, heavy on my chest,

Yet I keep them concealed, forever suppressed.

The unspoken desires, burning like fire,

Yearnings and passions that never expire.

Lustful dreams that dance in shades of gray,

Hidden behind a veil, they silently stay.

Beneath the surface, a tempest roars,

Words unvoiced, pounding on closed doors.

The truth is a beast that cannot be tamed,

So in silence, its fury remains unnamed.

There are thoughts that can shatter the soul,

Expose vulnerabilities that I dare not show.

In the depths of my heart, secrets reside,

Bound by the fear of what may transpire.

For some things are better left unsaid,

A maze of emotions, entangled thread.

The unsung melodies, lost in the air,

A symphony of silence, my burden to bear.

And yet, the unspoken carries its toll,

A heavy burden that consumes my soul.

The ache of longing, unfulfilled desires,

Burns like embers, igniting silent fires.

In the stillness of night, when shadows creep,

I yearn to awaken from this dreamless sleep.

To find solace in words, to set them free,

But the chains of silence hold tight, you see.

And so, I drift in this sea of unsaid,

A sailor lost in a storm of thoughts bred.

No resolution, no end in sight,

Just the ceaseless struggle of day and night.
