In the shadows of my mind, a storm brews within,
Unseen wounds whisper tales of battles fought in silence.
Each night, the darkness deepens, echoes grow louder,
Memories cascade, relentless waves on a fragile shore.

Faces of the past haunt the twilight of my sleep,
Ghosts of a time when fear was a constant companion.
Heartbeats synchronize with the ticking of the clock,
Each second a reminder of a war yet to cease.

In daylight, I wear a mask, a facade of calm,
But beneath the surface, the tempest roars and rages.
A prisoner of moments, trapped in endless reverie,
Seeking solace in the fleeting rays of hope.

Yet within this turmoil, strength is slowly born,
From the ashes of despair, resilience rises.
Though shadows linger, a dawn will break the night,
And in that light, I’ll find peace once more.
