Silent Struggles
A Struggle for Light in the Silence of the Storm
I wake, lost between sleep and sound,
A world that roars, I’m not around.
Encased in glass, joy out of reach,
A face unknown, words out of speech.
—
In crowded rooms, I fade away,
A ghost that no one sees or sways.
Each breath a fight, each step a strain,
Hope flickers out, consumed by pain.
—
Tomorrow may bring light to see,
But for now, I drift lost at sea.

Dark Memoirs - Index There are at least two kinds of people in the world: those who write this half-arsed kind of intro to a story that looks to separate the rare and the norm, and those who realise it's an overused framing device and don't.

A masterpiece of words, every line feels like art... Loved this💙
The way you wrote it is beautiful and the message is very impactful. The idea of being aimless and the hope it brings are very strong in our imagination. Congratulations!❤
This beautifully written and very real. Great work!
I believe we all at times feel like this. Good job.
