In the still of the night, shadows creep,
Whispers of despair, secrets they keep.
A soul entangled in a web of lies,
Seeking solace in a fleeting high.

The needle’s kiss, a moment’s escape,
From a world too harsh, too hard to shape.
Dreams dissolve in a haze of gray,
As life slips silently, day by day.

Beneath the surface, a heart still beats,
Yearning for freedom, from these dark streets.
In the depths of sorrow, a glimmer of light,
A hope that one day, they’ll win the fight.

Through valleys deep and mountains steep,
They’ll rise above, their soul to keep.
With strength and courage, they’ll break the chain,
And find their way to life again.
