Can you hear it?
It's the deafening sound
Of words left unsaid,
Of hearts silenced through
Sense and reason.

Can you spot them?
The weary ones, the broken ones
who push through just one more day
because they cling to a fragment of hope
that tomorrow will bring a reprieve.

Are you one of them?
The shattered souls that
go through the motions
without ever really knowing why.
