Like a sunflower facing the sun, I hide my shadows behind a bright facade. In a sea of faces, my heart remains an island, unseen and untouched, a blooming flower on the outside but with roots tangled in silent despair. I wear my smiles like armor, concealing the loneliness within. Behind my laughter lies a quiet storm, unknown to the world, a vibrant sunflower in a field, yet my soul whispers of solitude. Outwardly radiant, inwardly wrestling with the shadows of loneliness, my bright exterior hides a heart weighed down by silent sorrows. Beneath the surface of my smiles, a quiet loneliness lingers, and I stand tall like a sunflower, hiding the darkness within my petals.
