A POEM ABOUT LIFE

DARK SIDE

In shadows cast, where secrets reside,

There lies a realm, the Dark Side.

Where every soul, burdened by strife,

Bears the weight of a tumultuous life.

Within this tapestry of pain,

A symphony of sorrows, aching refrain.

From the cradle to the final breath,

We traverse a path, kissed by death.

In the streets, where weary souls roam,

Faces etched with scars, far from home.

The downtrodden, lost in the abyss,

Their dreams shattered, hopes amiss.

In corners dim, where whispers trace,

The echoes of heartbreak, etched on each face.

Unseen battles waged, in minds confined,

Where despair reigns, the darkest kind.

In love's embrace, where hearts entwine,

Lies the bittersweet taste, of love's decline.

A dance of passion, yet wounds prevail,

Leaving behind a love grown frail.

In empty halls, where dreams once soared,

Lies shattered ambition, forever ignored.

The embers of potential, now faded away,

As aspirations crumble, day by day.

Yet amidst the bleakness, a spark remains,

A flicker of hope, through sorrow's chains.

For in the depths, where shadows reside,

Resilience blooms, souls cannot hide.

In each tear shed, a strength untold,

In every battle fought, a spirit bold.

For life's miseries, though they persist,

Are met with courage, and souls insist.

So, let us remember, in the darkest night,

The human spirit, forever alight.

In the tapestry of pain, we shall abide,

Finding solace, on the other side.
