In shadows deep where whispers play,
A haunting dance, the night turns gray.
Promises made in the haze of a dream,
Fleeting glimpses of a brighter gleam.
A silver needle, a pill's embrace,
A fleeting high, a desperate chase.
Each heartbeat echoes, a siren's call,
As twilight fades, the spirits fall.
Once vibrant colors, now dulled and drained,
A soul once free, now shackled and pained.
The laughter of friends, now distant and rare,
Lost in the fog, they drift unaware.
Mirrors reflect a stranger's face,
Chasing shadows in a darkened space.
A flicker of hope, a whisper of light,
But the grip of the night pulls tighter, so tight.
Yet buried beneath the ashes and scars,
A flicker of strength, like distant stars.
In the depths of despair, a choice still remains,
To break from the chains, to dance in the rain.
So rise from the darkness, reclaim the lost fight,
For within every sunset, there’s still a new light.
Though the path may be heavy, the journey is real,
In the heart of the battle, we learn how to heal.

These are the lines I resonate the most with: "A soul once free, now shackled and pained. The laughter of friends, now distant and rare, Lost in the fog, they drift unaware." Amazing order of words. Nice work Cynthia :)
