Lost in the Shadows

Heart heavy, sinking deeper in the trench,

World spinning, can’t escape the stench.

Dreams turned to dust, slipping through my clutch,

Every step forward feels cold to the touch.

Pavement cracked, mirror shows a stranger,

Life’s a tightrope, every step’s danger.

No light at the end, just a flicker, dim,

The fire in my chest reduced to a whim.

Lost in the shadows, nowhere to go,

Waves crash hard, pulling me below.

Every breath a battle, every thought a fight,

Drowning in the dark, searching for the light.

Old scars, they whisper in my sleep,

Memories resurface, wounds run deep.

Chain-smoked dreams, ash on the ground,

Silence screams loud, deafening sound.

Stuck in the loop, replaying the hurt,

Life feels heavy, dragging through the dirt.

Prayers hit the ceiling, bounce back to me,

Eyes wide open, but I still can’t see.

Lost in the shadows, nowhere to go,

Waves crash hard, pulling me below.

Every breath a battle, every thought a fight,

Drowning in the dark, searching for the light.
