Locked Behind a Dark Door

Locked behind a dark door I am lost and alone,
separate from my family, no place to call home.

I battle with my fears and fight with my thoughts,
seems the harder I try, the more I get lost.

Help is near but yet so far away,
searching for peace, but the pain will stay.

Freedom? I am looking but unable to find,
my soul is lost, with no peace of mind.

Silence is my enemy, I am unable to speak,
I fear for my future, emotions at their peek.

I will try to keep faith for what my future has in store,
for now I remain, locked behind a dark door.
