Unheard Whispers

By Ria Srivastava

In the depths of my heart, there's a silent pain

Words unspoken, thoughts in vain

I long to open up, to lay it all bare

But a dream-like fog, leaves me in despair

On one hand, I dream of reaching the stars

On the other, of walking with someone, side by side, no bars

I want to tell everyone, everything that's on my mind

But the noise of the crowd, makes my voice hard to find

When I try to do it all, I end up with naught

But when I focus on one thing, my battles are fought

Perhaps, I don't need to do everything, to feel complete

Maybe, all I need to do is listen to my heart's beat

The words I tell myself, shape who I am

They become my reality, my life's exam

So, I'll learn to love myself, and believe in my worth

For, that's the only truth, that holds any real worth

The words I tell myself, shape who I am

They become my reality, my life's exam

So, I'll learn to love myself, and believe in my worth

For, that's the only truth, that holds any real worth

I won't let the world's noise drown my voice

I'll let my heart lead me, it's my choice

For in being true to myself, I'll find my peace

And my heart's dreams, will finally find release
