One Sided

There’s a shadow stitched to my soul,
quiet in crowds,
restless in silence.
Few have wandered that hidden hallway,
where truths sit unpolished,
and fears wear no masks.
It is the place where I speak in whispers,
and bleed in colours unseen.
You will not find it in my smile—
only in the trust I dare to give.
