There are battles we fight that don’t always show on the surface — a quiet war within, where silence can feel heavier than words. This poem touches on the shadows of self-doubt, the pressure to belong, and the ache that comes from carrying pain no one else sees.
Sometimes the hardest struggles are the ones we keep hidden, wrapped in whispers of hunger, guilt, and a desperate search for control. If you’re facing something similar, you’re not alone in that silence.
May this be a quiet reminder that healing starts with being seen, even when it feels impossible.
