In the shadows of my mind, where light seldom treads,
Lies a cavern deep and dark, where sorrow spreads.
Echoes of silence, whispers of despair,
Fill the empty void, a burden hard to bear.

Nights are endless, days blend into gray,
A heavy heart beats slow, in disarray.
Hope feels distant, like a star out of reach,
Each breath a struggle, each step a beseech.

Inside this prison, walls of thoughts confine,
Chains of doubt and fear, they intertwine.
Seeking solace, yet finding none,
The battle within is never truly won.

Yet, a glimmer persists, faint but real,
A whisper of strength, an urge to heal.
For even in darkness, a spark can ignite,
A journey towards dawn, a fight for the light.
