The Weight of Silence
Waiting for dawn, in the still of night.
In the quiet of the night, I lie awake,
The world outside asleep, but my soul does ache.
A pain so deep, it cuts the air,
An endless ache, no one seems to care.
Each step I take feels heavy, slow,
Like I'm walking through a storm of woe.
The laughter of the world seems far away,
As I fade into shadows, day by day.
Once full of dreams, once full of light,
Now I am lost in this endless fight.
The joy I knew has slipped through my hands,
Like grains of sand in forgotten lands.
The world moves on, so fast, so bright,
While I remain trapped in endless night.
A prisoner of pain of a life once known,
Now all I have is this ache, alone.
I wish for peace, a moment's release,
To silence the storm, to find some peace.
But until then, I'll just hold on tight,
Waiting for dawn, in the still of night.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
