My words, like whispers in the wind, often fall on deafened ears,
in a world where feelings are felt, in shadows deep, where I once knelt
to pray, in my heart, for hope to bloom, then stifled by all my fears.
And in my mind, a silent battle waged, in my heart my spirit disengaged.
My empathy, a boundless sea, would sweep me far and wide,
tidal waves would stir my very soul, and my heart would take the toll.
To feel the world through others, where hearts and souls reside.
Yet I, two selves within one fragile form, a paradox profound,
in one body they reside, the one they see, the one I hide
A mystery to those who question, but a truth, in silence, is found.
I yearn for understanding, in this world that is demanding.
To bridge the gap, to make them see, I yearned for their embrace,
to be a guiding light, to shine through the darkest night.
To share the love that dwells in me, to find in this world, my place.
