In the stillness of the night, shadows creep,
Whispering fears that make the heart leap.
Silent echoes of doubt, they softly sing,
Binding the soul with an invisible string.

The walls close in as the mind takes flight,
Worries dance in the dimmest light.
Eyes wide open but sleep nowhere near,
Lost in a labyrinth built of fear.

Every breath becomes a cautious sigh,
As thoughts of failure begin to amplify.
Searching for peace in a sea of unrest,
The heart pounds heavy within the chest.

Yet in this storm, a spark of hope appears,
A promise of light despite the tears.
For even in the darkest night,
The dawn will come, bringing new light.
