I scream in my dreams, where no one can hear,
For the tears I suppress when the day draws near.
I chose a man, thinking we’d build our own sky,
But he sought only my body, never asking why.
He won’t look beneath the skin where I hide,
The scars, the fears, the pain inside.

I hide my sorrow from a world so cold,
Afraid they’ll see I’m not strong, not bold.
In silence, I carry this heavy weight,
Longing for love, but finding only fate.
