Unspoken Weight

Where Silence Lives

By Marcus HillPublished 5 months ago 1 min read

I smiled today

but my chest didn’t believe it.

Some truths

are too quiet to cry out loud,

so they live in the body

like echoes with no exit.

But still—

I speak kindness,

not because I feel light,

but because I remember

what darkness took from me.
