Silence

Nobody asked me, and I haven't told
The secrets that I keep locked in my soul
The pain, the fear, the hurt, the shame
All hidden behind a mask of fame
I've given up on ever being heard
My thoughts and feelings, like a prison, blurred
I wear this mask of strength and grace
But inside, I'm just a hopeless case
I've tried to reach out, but it's no use
My cries for help are just another excuse
I'm trapped in this cycle, day by day
Nobody cares, so why should I say?
I've lost all hope in myself and in others
I'm just a shell, like a withered flower
Nobody asked me, and I haven't told
But it doesn't matter.
 My story will never be told.
I'll just fade away in silence and despair
Nobody will know, nobody will care
But that's okay because it's just who I am
A lost soul in a world that doesn't give a damn

Farewell to Family

The last goodbye is said,
To parents and siblings dear,
As we hold on to the thread,
Of a love that's always near.
We say farewell to what was,
From the childhood that we knew,
But in our hearts, there's a buzz,
Of love, that will always be true.
We'll remember the laughter,
And the tears that we shared,
For in our hearts forever after,
You will always be there.
Though we may be apart,
Our bond will still remain,
For in our hearts, a part of you,
Will forever remain.
The last goodbye is said,
But it's not the end,
For in our hearts, you'll always be,
Our family, our closest friends.
We'll carry your love with us,
As we journey on ahead,
And in every step we take,
We'll know you're there, with us, in our hearts,
Until we see you again.
