Fragment of Silence


Amidst the roar, I stand unseen,

A shadow lost where light has been.

Laughter rings, a hollow sound,

Masking the void where pain is found.


In the crowd, a quiet ache,

A fragile soul begins to break.

Pieces fall, a pride undone,

Scattered beneath a setting sun.


The mirror mocks with empty eyes,

Reflecting dreams turned into lies.

Each shard a whisper, faint, yet clear,

Of battles lost and silent fear.


I gather them, though hands do bleed,

To weave a hope from broken need.

But still the silence lingers near,

A haunting friend, a steadfast peer.


For in this emptiness, I see,

A chance to find what’s left of me.

Though fractured now, the heart will mend,

And from this grief, I’ll rise again.



UMK, just now.
