Shadows dance on walls of sorrow,
Echoes of pain in each morrow.
Tears fall from a heart so hollow,
Lost in a world, no light to follow.

The night is deep, the silence loud,
A soul wrapped in a shroud.
Dreams once bright now turned to dust,
Hope and faith, a fragile crust.

Beneath the stars, a lone cry,
A plea to the indifferent sky.
Suffering’s grip, a tight embrace,
Leaving scars time can’t erase.

In the darkness, strength must find,
Courage to heal, to leave behind.
For every dawn brings a chance anew,
To rise above and break through.
