In the quiet whispers of a restless night,
Lies a world where dreams take flight,
Yet tethered by chains unseen,
A soul lost in the shadowed sheen.

A promise whispered in the dark,
To light a fire, to leave a mark,
But the glow fades, the colors blur,
In the depths where echoes stir.

Fleeting moments of false delight,
Masked in the veil of endless night,
A heart that beats to silent cries,
In hollowed eyes where hope lies.

Yet through the haze, a voice calls clear,
A beacon in the storm of fear,
To rise above, to break the chain,
And find the sun beyond the rain.
