The Silent Struggle
<p> "The Silent Struggle"</p><p><br/></p><p>In quiet rooms where no one sees,</p><p>A war is waged on bended knees.</p><p>A secret habit, cloaked in shame,</p><p>No friend to call, no one to name.</p><p><br/></p><p>Curious hands, a restless mind,</p><p>A lonely urge that's hard to bind.</p><p>They say it's normal, "just a phase,"</p><p>But guilt creeps in like smoky haze.</p><p><br/></p><p>Late at night, with screens aglow,</p><p>A craving starts, too strong to slow.</p><p>Click by click, they drift away,</p><p>From purpose, dreams, and light of day.</p><p><br/></p><p>No teacher talks, few pastors dare,</p><p>To speak of what lives hidden there.</p><p>So youth are left to fight alone,</p><p>With questions carved into the bone.</p><p><br/></p><p>"Am I unclean? Am I too weak?</p><p>Why does this trap feel so unique?"</p><p>But every soul has fought this flame,</p><p>And many rise, though not the same.</p><p><br/></p><p>It's not the fall that marks your fate,</p><p>But will to rise and recreate.</p><p>To seek the truth, to break the chain,</p><p>To turn desire into gain.</p><p><br/></p><p>For deep within, beyond the fight,</p><p>There waits a flame of purer light.</p><p>And though the struggle still may stay,</p><p>The will to grow can find its way.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>
