Shadows in the Quiet

Silent room, the world outside feels far away

Dark clouds hanging low, shadows start to sway

Waking up slow, shadows on my mind

Caught in a tide, I can't seem to find

A spark or a light, to guide me through

Feeling so lost, unsure what to do

But even in the dark, I hope I can see

A tiny receptor of some small relief

Maybe tomorrow’s dawn won’t be so bleak

Maybe I’ll find strength I seek

But right now I’m sinking, in this heavy bed

Fighting these feelings inside my head

It’s hard to believe, that things will turn around

When silence is the only sound

Standing on the edge of peaceful despair

Longing for a breath, for someone who cares

Hold onto hope, in the quiet and the pain

Waiting for the sun to rise again

So I stay in this space, with thoughts unspoken

Waiting for time, for wounds to be mended

Though it feels never-ending, this shadow's deep

Maybe someday, I’ll find my way to sleep
