Silent battles rage within,

A war that no one else can see,

A struggle that we fight alone,

In the depths of our own reality.

We put on a brave face,

And we smile through the pain,

But the turmoil inside us,

Is like a never-ending rain.

We battle with our fears,

And with the doubts that we hold,

We fight against the darkness,

And the stories left untold.

We struggle with our demons,

And the monsters in our mind,

We try to keep them hidden,

But they're never far behind.

Our silent battles are invisible,

But they're as real as can be,

And though we may seem strong,

We need love and empathy.

So if you know someone fighting,

A silent battle of their own,

Be there to support and listen,

And help them feel less alone.

For though the battle may be silent,

And the scars may not be seen,

The strength and courage it takes,

Is nothing short of a dream.
