In the crowded room where shadows dance,
Words falter, lost in a silent trance.
Eyes glance but never meet,
In the chaos, I retreat.
Heartbeats echo in the hollowed chest,
A gentle plea for quiet rest.
Faces blur, unspoken fears,
Whispers drown in unshed tears.
Walls close in, an unseen fight,
Seeking solace in the night.
Worlds within, tangled and tight,
Yearning for a softer light.
Yet, in the silence, courage grows,
A gentle strength the heart bestows.
Step by step, breath by breath,
Finding peace within the depths.
