Silent Battle

Title: Silent Battle

A warrior stands, his secret kept,
Within the hallowed walls he wept,
His body frail, his spirit strong,
Unyielding in the face of wrong.

In halls of power, his duty bound,
Whispers of illness yet unfound,
Sacrifice concealed, he soldiered on,
As day by day, his strength withdrawn.

The weight of knowledge, silently carried,
His weary heart, this burden buried,
A month elapsed, his secret unshared,
A steadfast defense, though fate unfair.

Invisible waves, his body fought,
A battlefield within, battles fraught,
Yet not a word to reach the throne,
To keep his ailment, his struggle unknown.

Through sleepless nights and endless pain,
He fought the darkness, his strength regained,
A beacon of resilience, his courage untold,
Within his silence, a warrior’s stronghold.

Now words emerge, the truth unveiled,
A battle fought, scars proudly hailed,
For in the face of adversity, he stood,
A symbol of strength, his spirit withstood.
