In shadows cast by unseen chains,
A heart beats quietly, lost and untamed.
Whispers of sorrow in the still night,
A soul wanders, seeking its light.
The weight of silence, heavy and stark,
Drowns the laughter, leaves only the dark.
Dreams once vivid fade into gray,
In the depths where hope seems to stray.
A mirror reflects eyes hollow and dim,
Echoes of battles fought deep within.
Tears fall like rain on a barren field,
Where even the strongest must learn to yield.
Yet in the heartâs quiet plea for release,
A flicker of strength begins to increase.
Though shadows linger and whispers remain,
The dawn will come to ease the pain.
