Cold in my veins, the pills descend, A silent poison dressed as peace. I never chose this shadowed road— It claimed me slowly, piece by piece. The mirror shows a fractured man, Still reaching out with shaking hands. How long have I been sinking Just to breathe another day? The light I used to follow Feels so far away. With this pill—I rise, From the ruins of my mind. Though the darkness tears me open, I won't leave myself behind. If the past won't die, I'll carry all its scars— Living through the pain Beneath these fading stars. Night falls heavy on my chest, Old memories refuse to sleep. I wish I walked without this pill, But some wounds run too deep. I whisper through the silence, "This battle isn't shame." One more step, one more breath— I'll never quit this fight. With this pill—I stand, In the ashes of my past. Not to chase tomorrow, Just to make this moment last. If I can't return To who I used to be, I'll face another dawn— Still fighting to be free.
