A Silent Hero

In the darkest streets

where sorrow dwells,

A boy of strength,

his story tells.

With teapot in hand,

his dreams held tight,

He sells his brew

from morning light.


No hint of sorrow,

no, not a trace,

For he carries burdens

within his grace.

His weary eyes,

behind a smile concealed,

A painful truth

yet to be revealed.


With every cup

he pours in jest,

Laughter erupts

to mask the unrest.

His heart, heavy

and burdened so,

Through humor's veil,

his sadness won't show.


Through all the struggles,

he remains strong,

To support his family,

where he belongs.

He carries their hopes

upon his shoulder,

A silent hero, as the

nights grow colder.


So raise your cups,

sip the bitter brew,

But know, behind laughter,

sadness rings true.

For the boy who hides

his sorrow's cry,

May his dreams find

solace in the sky.
