Encased in walls of silent dread,
The echoes of the days long gone,
Whisper tales of what was said,
In the fleeting light of dawn.
Bound by chains unseen, yet real,
The soul yearns for a breath anew,
Amid the darkness, wounds to heal,
Seeking skies of endless blue.
Each moment stretches, time stands still,
Dreams confined within a cage,
Longing for the strength, the will,
To turn a stifled, weary page.
Yet hope flickers, a distant star,
Beyond the grasp of shadowâs might,
For even trapped, we see afar,
The dawn breaking through the night.
