In the shadows of the night, a soul weeps,
Silenced by the fear that grips tight,
Hidden bruises, unseen, the pain keeps,
A heart shattered, longing for the light.

Words like daggers, tearing flesh unseen,
A cruel whisper, echoes of despair,
Dreams once vibrant, now a muted screen,
A life broken, gasping for fresh air.

Hope flickers in the darkest of places,
A beacon in a storm of endless night,
Courage blooms in the most fragile spaces,
A brave heart ready to take flight.

With strength anew, the chains will shatter,
A voice will rise, no longer weak,
Freedom’s song grows louder, fatter,
A soul reborn, ready to speak.
