Beneath the Silence: Unveiling the Unheard

This poem is on a very sensitive issue, no offence to anyone, kindly read it with kindness.  

(Men getting sexually assaulted)

In shadows cast on silent souls, a tale untold,
Men, in silence, bear a burden, heavy and cold.
Unseen, and unheard, their struggles unfold,
A whispering wind, a story of courage bold.

Bound by stigma, society's ancient mould,
They navigate a world where their truth is sold.
Harassed, yet masked, emotions tightly controlled,
Old stereotypes eclipse their pain.

In quiet corners, where vulnerability is stowed,
They carry the scars of a narrative seldom scrolled.
Harmony disrupted, a melody left unschooled,
Men, too, endure a harrowing story untold.

Let empathy bloom, in hearts, let it be enrolled,
Break the shackles of silence, let compassion be extolled.
For in unity, healing finds its stronghold,
A symphony of voices, where dignity is enfolded.
