Shadows within

In the depths of my mind, darkness takes it toll
Should I keep it hidden, or let my pain unfold
Fear grips my heart, as sadness fills the air
Lost in the abyss, does anyone truly care?

 I'm drowning in the shadows, I can't find my way
Searching for a glimmer of hope, to light my day
The weight of depression, it pulls me down
In this haunting symphony, I'm the silent sound

Every step feels heavy, every smile a disguise
Behind the facade, the tears well in my eyes
Isolation surrounds me, like a prison with never ending gates Suffocating whispers, asking is it too late?

But amidst the darkness, a flicker starts to gleam
A reminder that I'm not alone in this dream
Through the mist a voice reaches out
A hand to hold, erasing all doubt

With each breath I rise above the despair
A melody of healing, lifting burdens I bear
The words carry me, igniting a spark
Guiding me back to the light, out of the dark

So I'll write my words, let it set me free
In the symphony of life, I'll find my harmony
Depression may linger, but I won't let it define
For through strength and hope, my spirit will shine
