Drowning in Shadows

Fading echoes in my mind,

A silent scream I can't unwind.

Shadows creep, I lose my way,

In the darkness day by day.

Caught in a mirror's broken glass,

Reflections of my haunted past.

Every scar, every regret,

Looms like a shadow I can't forget.

When the world shifts and falls apart,

I'm sinking deeper in my heart.

No light to guide, no hope in sight,

Just endless night, just endless night.

I'm drowning in self-hatred's sea,

Waves of despair swallowing me.

Fragile hope begins to fade,

In this storm I've made.

Silent screams inside my head,

Lost in thoughts I wish I'd fled.

Every failure, every tear,

Keeps me tethered to my fear.

When the night whispers cruel lies,

Truths I can't recognize.

Struggling to find the dawn,

Waiting for a new me to spawn.

I'm drowning in self-hatred's sea,

Waves of despair swallowing me.

Fragile hope begins to fade,

In this storm I've made.

But somehow a flicker remains,

A tiny spark amid the pain.

A whispered voice, a flickering light,

Promising to end the fight.

Maybe tomorrow, I'll find my way,

Beyond these shadows, into the day.

Hold on to hope, let it unbind,

A new dawn, a peace to find.
