“The courage behind your eyes”

When I see you, I see courage behind your eyes.

The way you hide your daily struggles from the world through the courage that shines through your smiling eyes.

Your strength goes beyond anyone’s imagination.

This strength comes from a place that’s deep within you, and that is a thing of beauty.

If the world only knew what it was as like to walk in your shoes,then they would also see the scars of courage that are hidden within the soles of your journey.

And what it takes to hide this pain through your smile.

To also let them know that this is me, but not who I truly am.

Before this day, the silence was loud and could be heard through even the busiest day.

Then without warning, all that was left was the sound of the wind blowing through the trees.

Leaving you with a daily reminder of that person who now speaks to you through silence.

Asking yourself, how you didn’t hear the silence coming.

Even silence has its way of warning of its coming.

Now you’re only left with unanswered silence.

Trying everything you know possible to break the silence.

Maybe one day, you’ll say the right word that only the silence can understand.
