The Calm only I see

A Journey Through the Walls of a Hidden Heart

By Witness LovePublished 2 years ago • 1 min read
The contrast between the boy’s emotional storm and his calm, vulnerable side.

You wear your anger like a shield, A fortress no one dares to breach. Your words, sharp as blades, Push the world out of reach. But with me, the storm is quiet, Your voice turns soft, your gaze stays kind.

I see the boy you hide away, The one the world will never find. Why do you fight with everyone else, Yet offer me your peace, your care? What pain has taught you to build these walls, To act as if you do not dare? I feel the weight you carry inside, A silent battle no one sees. You guard yourself from those who hurt, But with me, you find release. The world may fear the storms you bring, But I have walked beneath your sky. I see the calm, the quiet truth, The hidden love that doesn’t lie. So let them think they know your name, Let them believe the mask you wear. For I am the one who knows your soul, And I’ll keep your heart, safe and rare.
