The Abyss Within

Exploring the Depths of the Soul

In the depths of despair, where shadows dwell,

Lies the abyss within, a tale to tell,

A void of darkness, where anguish resides,

Where shattered hopes and dreams collide.

Oh, the abyss within, a bottomless pit,

Where sorrows linger, refusing to quit,

It beckons with whispers of desolation,

Consuming hearts with its bitter sensation.

Within its depths, a mournful symphony plays,

A dirge of sorrow in endless disarray,

Echoes of brokenness fill the silent air,

As souls navigate this abyss of despair.

In this realm of shadows, where pain takes hold,

A tempest of emotions, untamed and bold,

The weight of sadness, an unbearable plight,

Engulfing hearts, eclipsing all light.

Oh, the tears that fall, like rain in the night,

Each drop a testament to battles we fight,

Aching wounds, invisible scars run deep,

Within the abyss, secrets we keep.

But even in darkness, there's a flicker of light,

A glimmer of hope, amidst the endless night,

For within this abyss, strength can arise,

From the shattered fragments, the soul can rise.

Let not the abyss define your being,

Embrace the pain, for it is forseeing,

That through the depths of sorrow's reign,

A path to healing shall be reclaimed.

Though the abyss within may seem vast,

And the journey through it, daunting and vast,

Know that resilience resides in your core,

And from the depths of despair, you can restore.

So, dear soul, when sadness takes its toll,

Remember, within you, a strength does unfold,

Embrace the darkness, let it guide you through,

For even in the abyss, there's a light that's true.
