In the shadows where silence screams,
Lies a soul trapped in shattered dreams,
Whispers of hope now distant and faint,
Painted with sorrow, an addict’s taint.

Once vibrant eyes are now hollow and cold,
A story of despair, left untold,
Chasing a high, running from pain,
Lost in a cycle, time and again.

Friends turned to ghosts, love turned to dust,
Trust is a memory, broken by lust,
Shadows grow darker, nights feel so long,
Struggling to find where they belong.

Yet within the darkness, a flicker of light,
A chance for redemption, to make things right,
Embrace the struggle, fight the decay,
For tomorrow brings a brighter day.
