A Dance With Shadows
In the quiet of her room she sits alone
The little bottle glimmers a weight of stone.
Once heavy with sadness now light like a breeze
She smiles at the sun feeling soft in the trees.
Pills promised to lift her to chase away night
But they dulled all the colors dimmed every bright light.
She learned to find comfort in the whispers of rain
And dance with her shadows embracing the pain.
With each passing moment she found her own way
In laughter and heartache she learned how to stay.
The world felt much clearer the burdens set free
A journey through darkness now filled with a plea.
But the whispers still linger those echoes of doubt
What if joy is a mask what if love's just a shout?
In the stillness she wonders can she trust what she feels?
Or is peace just a moment a dream that conceals?
So she breathes in the silence her heart starts to mend
With the strength of a river she learns to descend.
For now she is stronger though shadows still roam
In the depth of her spirit she finally feels home.
