I burn

"dark"

Like a broken glass

That's how I feel.

Feeling empty

with pains all over my body

Yet, I'm not sick.

Will I ever heal?

Will I ever be okay?

I'm in distress

Deep sorrow

Followed by tears

Sadness as my meal

Oh, no!

Days go on.

Dark…

No sunshine.

As if the sun doesn't rise.

I'm searching for tranquility.

I feel like a victim.

Victim of deception

I burn in deep sorrow and anguish.

Darkness is what I see.

Dark is my nickname.

I'm in darkness.

    This one is heavy, drenched in sorrow, and raw with emotion. It reads like a soul crying out from the depths, lost in the shadows, searching for light. The repetition of darkness amplifies the weight of the pain—like being trapped in an endless night. Haunting, powerful, and deeply felt.
