There are storms that rage
with lightning and roaring skies,
and then there are storms
that live inside you..
silent, unseen,
but powerful enough
to shatter the soul.
Pain is that storm.
It does not arrive with a warning.
It seeps in quietly,
curling itself around your heart
like smoke,
until every breath burns.
The cruelest pain
does not scream;
it hums beneath the surface,
like thunder no one else can hear.
You walk through the world smiling,
while inside,
your ribs rattle
with the weight of battles
you’ve never spoken aloud.
Pain has a way of stripping you bare,
peeling away laughter,
tearing through joy,
until only the bones remain
the truest parts of you,
uncovered and raw.
But here is the hidden truth:
Silent thunder does not only destroy.
It builds.
Every fracture in your soul
becomes an entry point for light.
Every scar,
a language only the brave can read.
Every tear,
a seed for something unbreakable.
One day, you will look back
and see the storm for what it was:
a cruel teacher,
a relentless sculptor,
a necessary fire.
For in the ruins of who you were,
you will find yourself reborn...
a being made of strength,
woven together by shadows and lightning.
And when the world finally hears
the sound of your silent thunder,
they will not hear pain
they will hear power. 🫀
