The Hollow Inside

They say it's okay
The silence, is normal
For it doesn't hurt anyone
Lest it shall trouble none.

The doldrums of time
Keep beating itself, as one
Never ending rhythm of
Deep thoughts and tunes

Our friend, the mirror
Tells us stories of laughter
In the silence, which shadows
The storm inside us.

We are for ever, by them
They are, for themselves
In the darkness of loneliness
We are all one.

The greenery, feels black
The sunshine, dims dark
The night is our dear friend
Yet the darkness, doesn't help

If help us, you possibly can't
Understand us, you at least shall
We live with our silences, in
Our own mute wind chimes

It's hard, to go by
Smiling, yet burning inside
Cause no one knows, that you're
Living, yet dying inside.

P.S: An inspiration and dedication to the very recently watched movie - Joker - enacted exceptionally by Joaquin Phoenix, and a marvellous story. More than the comic character, it's a great lot amount on how people should be portraying and considering mental health. It's an important aspect of the human mind, but yet, often, we all don't give too much attention to it, which in turn ends up as calculated negligence.
