In the silence of the night, my thoughts consume,
A heavy weight, a constant looming gloom.
The world outside, a distant, faded hue,
While inside me, the darkness grew.

I wander through the corridors of pain,
Seeking solace in the endless rain.
A smile, a mask I wear each day,
Hiding the tears that won’t go away.

The whispers of despair echo in my head,
As I lie awake upon my bed.
Dreams of peace seem so far gone,
In this battle, I feel so alone.

Yet within the depths, a spark remains,
A hope that one day I’ll break these chains.
For every night must greet the dawn,
And I will rise, though my strength is worn.
