Shadows Within

In the depths of my mind, darkness takes it toll Should I keep it hidden, or let my pain unfold Fear grips my heart, as sadness fills the air Lost in the abyss, does anyone truly care? I'm drowning in the shadows, I can't find my way Searching for a glimmer of hope, to light my day The weight of depression, it pulls me down In this haunting symphony, I'm the silent sound Every step feels heavy, every smile a disguise Behind the facade, the tears well in my eyes Isolation surround me, like a prison with never ending gates Suffocating whispers, asking is it to late? But amidst the darkness, a flicker starts to gleam A reminder that I'm not alone in this dream Through the mist a voice reaches out A hand to hold, erasing all doubt With each breathe I rise above the despair A melody of healing, lifting burdens I bear The words carry me, ignoring a spark Guiding me back to the light, out of the dark So I'll write my words, let it set me free In the symphony of life, I'll find my harmony Depression it may linger, but I won't let it define For through strength and hope, my spirit will shine
