In the shadows where hope fades away,
A heart beats slowly, lost in dismay.
Heavy clouds of sorrow loom above,
Drowning dreams, suffocating love.

The nights are long, the days are gray,
In this world where joy’s astray.
Silent cries echo in the dark,
Leaving behind a painful mark.

The weight of the world feels so immense,
A soul adrift, lost in pretense.
Every step feels like a crawl,
Each breath a struggle, a silent call.

In this abyss, where light is rare,
A whisper of hope lingers in the air.
Though the journey is tough and rife,
There’s a flicker in the depressing life.
