Untold heart

In shadows deep where judgments lie

A soul is cast beneath the sky. Mistakes, they mark me, harsh and cold

Yet what they miss is more untold.

Beneath the surface, hidden well

A heart that’s tried and strives to mend

Each error made, a story’s shell

Of lessons learned, of hearts to tend.

I bear a weight, too vast for years

With responsibilities hard to bear

Yet in my quest to soothe my fears They see me not, though I am there.

A mother’s role, a child so young

With burdens heavy, tears that flow

In silent nights when sorrows sung

The world misjudges what they know.

They see the cracks, the flaws I own But fail to glimpse the care I give

In every sigh, in every tone

A heart that beats, a will to live.

So when mistakes cast shadows wide

And kindness seems to fade away

Remember, there’s a soul inside

With tender hopes that yearn for day.
