Labyrinth of Shadows

The Silent Descent into Mental Darkness

By Zohan AliPublished about a year ago 1 min read

In the shadows of a fractured mind,

Echoes of silence, cruel and unkind,

Whispers of demons, shadows that creep,

In the hollow caverns where nightmares seep.

A shattered mirror, reflections of pain,

Fractured thoughts in an endless chain,

Haunted corridors, no light to find,

In the twisted labyrinth of a broken mind.

Voices murmur in a ghostly choir,

Fueling the flames of a cold, dark fire,

Lost in the abyss, where hope decays,

In the endless night that swallows days.

Eyes that see but cannot perceive,

A world of sorrow they can't believe,

Tears fall silently, like midnight rain,

Washing away dreams in a torrent of pain.

Bound by the chains of unseen scars,

A prisoner beneath a sky of stars,

In the darkened depths, they scream, they plead,

For solace from the torment, from the inner need.

No one hears the silent cries,

Of a soul ensnared by its own lies,

In the quiet chaos, they slowly descend,

A tragic tale with no hopeful end.
