In the darkened corners of my mind,
Where light dares not to tread,
I wander through the shadows,
With a heart heavy as lead.

The silence screams its loudest,
In the stillness of the night,
Each breath a battle waged,
In this unrelenting fight.

Tears fall like rain in autumn,
Each drop a silent plea,
For relief from this deep sorrow,
That refuses to set me free.

Yet somewhere in the distance,
A faint glimmer of hope,
A whisper of a better day,
To help me learn to cope.
