In the shadows where secrets lie,
Beneath the moon’s cold, distant eye,
Whispers of pain in the silent air,
A world of violence, dark and bare.
Broken dreams and shattered hearts,
Lives torn asunder, falling apart,
The cries of the helpless, lost in despair,
Echo through nights, a haunting prayer.
The hands that strike, the words that wound,
Souls left bereft, in darkness marooned,
The cycle of anger, a never-ending fight,
Shadows of violence obscure the light.
Yet in the dawn, a glimmer of hope,
A chance to heal, a way to cope,
The strength to rise, to break the chains,
To end the nightâs relentless reigns.
