Tormented by Silence

Tormented by the silence, of stories I never speak,
Haunting the happiness, of all I ever seek.

Who else does this? In life we all have stories, some that incorrectly paint us in a bad light. We keep the story quiet for the benefit of others, to protect them…the fear of consequence to them. However, how many of those stories prevent us from finding our own happiness? Life of empathy has its burdens, but we always try to do our best for others before ourselves…no matter the cost! That is something I have grown to be grateful for.
