Steel Voices in Silence

Echoes in the shadow, cold wall whispers low

Steel gates closing, time moves slow

Darkness wraps around, breath condensed in air

Voices fading, dreams stripped bare

Walking through the cold, footsteps heavy, slow

Every step a measure of the weight I’ll never know

Walls closing in, silence screams so loud

In this cell of darkness, lost within the crowd

Resilience hardening, scars beneath the skin

Survival etched in every breath, beneath my chin

Resist, persist, endure the pain

In these depths, I find my strength again

Locked in the shadows, behind these iron bars

Fighting through the silence, healing from the scars

Heavy bass pounding like a steel door’s hum

This prison’s grip relentless, but I won’t succumb

Worn voice echoes, stories of fight and flight

Hope flickering faintly in the dead of night

Distorted wobbles, signals a warning

Freedom’s distant call, but I keep on enduring

Echoes fade to silence, darkness starts to fold

Time may drag, but I stay cold

Survivor’s spirit, burning bright and long

In this forsaken place, I find my song
