In the quiet corners where shadows weep,
Lies a story untold, in silence deep.
Bruises hidden beneath a fragile smile,
A heart that aches, mile after mile.

Words spoken softly, yet sharp as a knife,
Cutting through the fabric of a hopeful life.
Trust shattered with every whispered lie,
Dreams falter, beneath the darkened sky.

Eyes that once sparkled with vibrant light,
Now dimmed, haunted by endless night.
The chains invisible, yet heavy they bind,
A soul cries out, longing to find.

Yet in the darkness, a flicker of grace,
A strength emerges, to reclaim its place.
The journey is long, the path unclear,
But courage whispers, “You are here.”
