There is a place inside you No map has ever traced, a quiet room behind the ribs where light forgets to stay. No one sees it when you smile, No one hears it when you speak. It moves beneath your laughter like a river running deep. It is yours alone to carry, not carved for other hands, a language made of silence Only your soul understands. Some mornings it is heavier, a stone you cannot name, And still you rise and wear your life as if it were the same. But pain, it does not leave you when ignored or pushed away, it waits within the folds of time, it learns you day by day. It is not your enemy, though it cuts without a sound; it is the truth you buried but still lives underground. And yes, there are nights it breaks you, when endurance feels too wide, when even breath feels borrowed And there is nowhere left to hide. Yet somehow you continue, not because you do not fall, but because within the breaking You still answer life’s call. You learn to walk beside it, not beneath it, not above...
The curtain of death hangs heavy and black, Is it a veil, or a door unseen? It sways in silence, waiting still, Between the worlds we’ve known and been. Just when the days feel safe and whole, When laughter learns to settle in, It falls without a warning sound And claims a name, a face, a kin. One chair grows cold. One voice goes still. A room forgets a familiar breath. We stand in shock, our questions raw, Staring into the cloth of death. Why is it cruel? Why no delay? No borrowed days, no gifted years? Why does it close without a choice? Unmoved by love, untouched by tears? It does not ask. It does not pause. It does not count the prayers we say. It chooses from the ones we love And draws them suddenly away. Families fracture in its wake, Time stumbles, hearts forget their beat, And still the curtain never parts To show us where the souls retreat. We only know it falls when it will, On whom it wills, in quiet breath, Leaving us here with empty hands And questions sewn in cloths...
