Silentbattles Stories

Behind the Mask Behind the Mask follows Deola Writes, a girl who appears confident, funny, and unbothered on the outside, but struggles privately with overthinking, emotional exhaustion, and the pressure of always being "okay." As she navigates school life, she gradually comes to realize that her cheerful personality is more of a shield than an identity.

Through quiet moments, subtle connections, and emotional reflection, Deola begins to question the mask she wears every day-and whether she can ever take it off without losing herself. It is a coming-of-age story about hidden emotions, silent battles, and the courage it takes to be real in a world that rewards pretending.

I thought coming home would heal me. Instead, every room reminded me of the person I became while trying to survive there. This poetry collection is about emotional loneliness, silent breakdowns, feeling invisible inside your own home, and searching for reasons to stay alive when your own mind becomes exhausting to carry. It is about craving love while pretending not to need it. About becoming cold while secretly begging to be understood. About losing yourself trying to become enough for everyone else. And somewhere between all the pain, guilt, and silence there is still a small hope for healing. For everyone who ever whispered "I'm fine" while breaking inside.

A Journey Through Pain, Hope, and Resilience Every day, millions wake up carrying invisible weights-of sorrow, of fear, of the dreams they once believed in but now doubt.

If you've ever felt like giving up, this book is a reminder to try again-not forever, not even for tomorrow. Just... one more time.

Every day, people travel in Mumbai's local trains carrying dreams, exhaustion, hope, and silent pain. This is not a story I learned. This is a story I witnessed- through faces, silence, and moments that pass between stations. I don't know their names. I don't know their stories completely. But I've seen enough to believe that every face carries a battle. This is what I saw- every day- inside a train that never stops.

--- 📘 Her Struggles Chapter 1: I'm 18... and Already Tired --- I turned 18 last month. There were no fireworks. No cake. No "welcome to adulthood" speech. Just me, my mother yelling in the background, a half-cooked bowl of indomie, and a voice in my head whispering, > "This is your life now." I used to think 18 would feel different. Maybe I'd wake up feeling powerful, like I finally had control. Instead, I feel... tired. And it's only just beginning. --- College is choking me. Assignments piling. Lecturers who don't even know my name. My part-time job at the local café keeps me on my feet for hours, fake smiling at customers who don't even look at me twice. Then I come home and still get asked, > "What have you even done today, Priya?" As if existing isn't already a full-time job. --- But then there's Raph. I met him two weeks ago. He's... different. Soft-spoken. Gentle. And the way he says my name? It makes me feel seen. And I hate that. Because I promised myself not to fall for anyone while my own world is falling apart. He always finds me after class. Says something stupid to make me laugh. Walks me to the bus stop like it's a duty. > "You're strong, Priya," he told me once. "But even strong people need somewhere to rest." And for a second... I almost let myself believe I could rest in him. --- But tonight, I cried in the bathroom. Again. Silent tears. The kind you cry when you know no one will come check on you anyway. I wrote a poem in my head: > I'm 18 With war in my heart And roses in my smile They don't know I'm breaking But I do it with style. --- Tomorrow, I'll wake up and do it all again. College. Work. Pretending. Smiling. Surviving. Because I'm Priya. And apparently, being 18 means learning how to carry the world - before you even know how to carry yourself. --- To be continued...

Book 1: The Girl Before the Crown. From the series: The Queen with a Wounded Crown Before the crown, before the scars, there was a girl. She was soft in a world that had not yet taught her to harden. A dreamer with wide eyes and a heart that loved without fear, she believed in forever the way only the unbroken can. Her laughter came easily, her trust even easier, and the future shimmered with promises she was certain would never fade. But innocence is fragile. In the quiet spaces between love and loss, between hope and reality, the first cracks begin to form. The world she once saw in color slowly begins to blur, and the people she trusted most become the very ones who reshape her understanding of love, loyalty, and pain. This is not the story of a queen- not yet. This is the story of the girl she used to be... before the crown grew heavy, before the silence became her armor, before everything she believed in began to break. The Girl Before the Crown is a deeply emotional journey of youth, identity, and the delicate beauty of innocence before life demands its price. It is where her story begins-pure, hopeful, and unaware of the storm that is coming.

A story about a girl whose life was quietly transformed by someone who led her-not to himself-but to Him.

"I never intend to lose myself" Many people envy the youngest in the family, thinking parents go easy on them and spoil them. But that's not how the youngest sees it. Andy works tirelessly to avoid being compared to her sister, who is two years older. She's seen each of her siblings leave one by one, creating new lives without her and leaving her behind. The loneliness she feels is profound, but she keeps all her emotions bottled up because she knows they aren't seen as valid by others. In her family's eyes, she's just the baby, and a child like her has no right to feel that way. While everyone else sees her as lucky, Andy struggles with the pressure to measure up and the pain of being left out. She's forced to grow up in the shadows of her siblings, with their achievements and lives constantly held up as standards she has to meet. Every day, she works hard not just for herself, but to break free from the comparisons and to prove that her feelings and experiences are just as real and important. Despite the perception that she has it easy, Andy's journey is filled with silent battles and unspoken hardships.

Some scars don't bleed-they stay hidden, carried in silence. This book is for the quiet fighters, the broken hearts, and the ones who keep going even when it hurts.

Some wounds are invisible, some battles are fought in silence, and some scars are carried alone. People say, "You handled it so well," but the truth? I didn't handle it. I went insane. I lost my spark. I bled in silence. I shattered alone. I wore a smile that lied better than any mask could. I survived it-not because I was strong, but because I had no other choice. Every sleepless night, every tear I swallowed, every weight I carried on my shoulders-it all built me. This is raw. This is unfiltered. This is what surviving feels like when the world expects you to crumble. This story, this poem, this journey-it's for anyone who has ever felt unseen, unheard, or forgotten. To those who are drowning in the noise of the world, feeling the weight of pain no one else acknowledges, know this: you are not alone. Your survival is your power. Your voice matters. Your story matters. And even in the darkest hours, even when you feel broken beyond repair, you are becoming more than your pain. You are becoming unstoppable. Read, feel, breathe, and remember: it's okay not to be okay. It's okay to struggle. It's okay to break-but it's also okay to rise, again and again.

I became an expert at hiding. Not in a dramatic way-not the kind people would notice-but in quiet, subtle ways that made everyone believe I was okay. I learned how to smile at the right moments, how to laugh when expected, how to speak in a way that convinced everyone I was just... fine. But the truth was never that simple. Behind every smile I gave, there was something I never showed-thoughts I never said out loud, emotions I buried deeper each day, and a version of me that slowly began to disappear. There were nights when silence felt heavier than words, and mornings where getting up already felt like a battle I didn't ask for. This is a true story-not just about what happened to me, but about what I felt, what I endured, and what I chose to hide. It's about the weight of pretending to be okay when you're not. About the quiet moments when you're surrounded by people, yet feel completely alone. About the kind of pain that doesn't scream-but stays. There were moments I wanted to break down, to tell someone everything, to finally be honest about the truth I was carrying. But instead, I chose to smile. Again and again. Because somewhere along the way, I believed that showing pain made me weak... and being "strong" meant hiding it all. But strength, I've come to realize, doesn't always look like silence. Sometimes, strength is in the truth you almost tell. Sometimes, it's in the tears you hold back. And sometimes, it's in finally admitting that you are not okay. This story is not perfect. It is not polished. It is real. It carries the pieces of me that I once tried to keep hidden-the struggles, the quiet battles, the truth I was too afraid to face. Because this is what happened between my smile and the truth... and everything I lost, found, and learned in between.
