Comfort Zone
In shadows deep, she seeks her rest,
Where pain's embrace feels like a test.
Her heart, a fortress, cold and still,
Where echoes of her anguish fill.
The girl, once bright, now lost in night,
In comfort found in endless blight.
For though it hurts, it's all she's known,
This solace in her heart of stone.
To step into the light, so bright,
Would blind her eyes, extinguish sight.
For happiness feels out of reach,
A foreign land, a harsh speech.
She dwells in comfort in the gloom,
Where shadows reign, where fears consume.
Her dreams are tainted by the past,
The pain she clings to, holds her fast.
Yet buried deep within her chest,
A flicker of hope, a silent quest.
But still, she lingers in the shade,
Where comfort lies, where wounds are bade.
For though it hurts, it's all she's known,
This darkness that has been her own.
She finds solace in the numb,
In the silence where the shadows hum.
To leave behind her comfort zone,
To face the light, to stand alone,
It's a journey fraught with fear,
A path that's never been more clear.
Yet still, she hesitates to go,
To leave behind the life she knows.
For though it hurts, it's all she's known,
This darkness that has been her home.
But deep within, a voice cries out,
A whisper of a twisted doubt.
A call to step into the day,
To let the shadows fade away.
And though it scares her half to death,
She takes a breath, she takes a step.
Out of the darkness, into light,
She spreads her wings, begins her flight.
For happiness may be unkind,
A stranger to her tortured mind.
But in the light, she starts to see,
The emptiness of being free.
To leave behind the pain and strife,
To embrace the beauty of this life.
For though it hurts, it's not her fate,
To dwell forever in this state.
So hand in hand with twisted fate,
She walks away from shadows' gate.
And though it's hard, she starts to find,
A solace in the dark confines.
For happiness may be unknown,
But in the shadows, she finds home.
And though it hurts to live this way,
She knows that darkness will hold sway.
Out of the light, into the night,
She leaves behind the feeble fight.
And though it's painful, though it's grim,
She finds a comfort deep within.
