EchoesOfSilentGrace
I have forgotten who I am...
Somewhere along the way, I lost myself-
Not in dreams, not in love,
But in the silence of giving too much,
And receiving too little.
Now, I'm just flowing with time,
Not living, just existing-
Like a leaf drifting on the river of life,
With no anchor, no destination.
I no longer love anyone in this world...
Because the love I gave-pure, selfless, and deep-
Was met with silence, with denial.
Those for whom I lived,
Turned away when all I needed was to be seen,
To be valued,
To be held-just once-with the same truth I offered.
And in the shadows of these broken echoes,
I now turn to the one person I abandoned the most...
Myself.
I am learning, slowly, painfully,
To love myself again-
To pick up the scattered pieces of my soul,
To whisper gently, "You matter... you always did."
I am searching for a place...
A space where I don't have to prove my worth,
Where my silence is understood,
Where my heart can rest-
In this world that is as beautiful as it is cruel,
As magical as it is merciless.
I'm not looking for perfection anymore-
Just peace.
Just truth.
Just a quiet corner of the world
Where I can simply... be. πππ
