I. Emptying Silence (Pain within Silence)
The mirror in my room
hasn't seen my smile in years.
Light hesitates on my face now.
Eyes no longer travel
beyond the doors of dreaming.
Inside, a silent defeat
waits without moving.
Words once thrown
landed somewhere deep,
where even echoes don't return.
Thoughts shatter quietly,
their pieces turning inward.
Sometimes I color my lips
just to pretend words might come.
But silence —
it never leaves without a struggle.
