This poem is a window into my inner world, a place I don’t always show to others. It’s about the struggle of wanting to be happy and free while feeling trapped by pain that no one else can see. The lines explore the contrast between the smile I wear for the world and the darkness I carry inside. Writing this was my way of facing those feelings honestly, without pretending they don’t exist. While it’s heavy and raw, there’s a thread of hope woven through it—a quiet belief that one day, I’ll find my way out of the storm. I hope it resonates with anyone who has ever felt unseen, misunderstood, or quietly hurting, and reminds them that even in dark moments, there’s a chance for light.
