SHADOWS

In shadows cast by a tortured mind,
A prison of thoughts, cruel and unkind.
Bound by whispers that echo despair,
I find myself lost in the depths of the air.

Silent screams in the corridors of my soul,
A haunting echo takes a heavy toll.
The weight of darkness, a suffocating embrace,
I'm trapped in a struggle, a desolate space.

A prison of whispers that taunt and deceive,
Echoes of pain that I cannot retrieve.
The bars are illusions, constructed by fear,
Yet they hold me captive, drowning in tears.

The key lies hidden, obscured by the gloom,
In the recesses where shadows loom.
I wander alone in this desolate cell,
Where the toll of despair seems a knell.

Yet, beyond these walls, a flicker of light,
A glimmer of hope, though shrouded in night.
For within the depths of this internal strife,
There exists a chance to rekindle life.

To break free from chains of relentless despair,
To breathe in the hope that hangs in the air.
The journey is daunting, the path far from clear,
But the strength within can conquer the fear.

In this prison of thoughts, where shadows reside,
There's a resilience, a will to abide.
For within the darkness, a strength yet unseen,
A light that can banish the shadows between.

So, let the verses of hope gently chime,
A melody breaking the chains of the rhyme.
In the prison of thoughts, let healing commence,
For life is a journey, a song of recompense.
