Shadows of the Heart

Heavy shadows, they follow me

Darkness whispers, no escape for free

Every step I take, the weight's on my chest

Battling ghosts from a past I detest

Broken pieces of a soul torn apart

Fighting internal wars, juggling my heart

Silent tears fall when no one's near

Echoes of pain, loud and clear

Longing for peace, for a moment to breathe

A hope that someday, pain will leave

Pain follows me everywhere I go

In my mind, in my soul, it's all I know

Struggling with the scars, battling the fears

Living every day, fighting back tears

Pain follows me, shadows in my wake

In every heartbreak, in every ache

But still I stand, I won't fall

Through the darkness, I hear the call

Loving others, yet hurting inside

Wounds from the past I try to hide

Night after night, I plead for relief

Yearning for silence, for some belief

Pain's a shadow that won't retreat

A constant companion, bitter and sweet

But I keep fighting, I keep the hope

One day, I'll learn how to cope

Stay strong amid the pain, find your peace within.
