SILENT RAINBOW

There are days I just want to scream.

To tell the world who I am.

But the world is quiet.

Unready.

Unwilling to understand.

So I stay silent.

A smile on my lips.

A rainbow hidden inside.

Unseen.

Sometimes, being me feels like a battle.

A secret battle.

One only I know the scars of stories of love the world isn’t ready to hear.

I exist in the space between light and shadow.

Caressed by hope, bound by fear.

Every glance at me is a question.

Every question, demands an answer.

And sometimes, my only answer is silence.

Not because I don’t want to speak, but because I’ve learned, to love myself quietly.

The nights are long.

With aching thoughts, whispers of judgment echo in my head.

Every step feels heavy.

Every breath, measured.

Yet I keep moving.

Even when it hurts.

Hoping one day, the pain will ease.

One day, my wings will spread wide.

Colors blazing, free, for the world to see.

No more hiding.

No more silent tears.

Just a heart, unchained.

A soul, unafraid.

Flying high above the doubts, above the fears.

One day, my heart will scream aloud.

And the world will hear every color I carry.

But for now, I learn to love quietly.

In my own story,

In my own rainbow,

Which is real.

Which is whole.

Even unseen.

I am here.

I exist.

I love.

And even in silence,

My love, will not fade.
