The Things We don't Say

source

In the silence that hangs heavy,
Lie the words we dare not speak.
In the depths of our hearts, buried deep,
Lurk the secrets we choose to keep.

The things we don't say,
Echo in the empty spaces.
Unspoken truths, veiled in shadows,
Concealed behind stoic faces.

Each unspoken word, a weight to bear,
A burden too heavy to bear.
But fear holds us captive, bound by chains,
As silence fills the air.

Yet in the silence, there is power,
A quiet strength that remains.
For in the things we don't say,
Lie the seeds of change, waiting to be claimed.

So let us break free from the silence,
And give voice to our fears and pain.
For in the things we don't say,
Lies the power to heal, and love again.
