Shadows of Despair

In darkness, I reside, A lifeless soul, devoid of pride, Each day, a struggle to survive, No hope, no joy, just a dull, gray drive. The world outside is cold and grey, Reflecting the emptiness I've made, No warmth, no love, no guiding light, Just an endless, desolate night. My heart is heavy, weighed down, By the burdens I've worn like a frown, No respite, no peace, no reprieve, Just a constant, gnawing grief. I search for solace, but it's rare, A fleeting dream, beyond my grasp, I stare, Into the void, where happiness lies, But it's lost, and I'm left to demise. In this prison, I'm confined, A life of sorrow, forever aligned, No escape, no freedom to roam, Just a bleak existence, my heart's home. Tears fall like rain, a never-ending sea, As I drown in my misery, No lifeline, no shore in sight, Just a despairing, darkest night.
