The Weight Nobody Sees

Somewhere beneath the noise

A quiet breaks apart

Another day of looking fine

With nowhere left to start

A practiced smile

A steady hand

A thousand things

No one understands

The world keeps moving

The hours turn

Some things are heavy

Without a word

And it gets harder to explain

A kind of hurt without a name

When even standing still feels like

You're running out of strength to fight

There's a weight nobody sees

A silent war beneath the skin

A thousand words caught in the throat

With nowhere left to let them in

The smallest things become a climb

The hours blur, the days unwind

What once came easy slips away

And even words refuse to stay

No single wound

No clear design

Nothing to point to

Nothing to underline

Just something pulling from within

A door that will not open

No proof (just thought)

No sign (just blind)

No reason you can underline

No cry (just still)

No flame (no will)

Just waking up and feeling strange

There's a weight nobody sees

A silent war beneath the skin

A thousand words caught in the throat

With nowhere left to let them in

Still breathing underneath it all

Still standing, even when you fall

Some battles leave no outward scars

Some nights are heavier than they are

Not every breaking makes a sound

Not every lost soul can be found

In all the things they used to do

In all the strength they once went through

Maybe nothing needs a name

Maybe the hurt can simply stay

Until the words come back again

Until the weight shifts, just a little

Still here

Still breathing

Still here

There's a weight nobody sees

A silent war beneath the skin

But even when the words run dry

The truth is still alive within

Still breathing underneath it all

Still here beyond the rise and fall

Some battles leave no outward scars

And unseen wounds are wounds they are

Somewhere beneath the noise

A quiet still remains
