Shadows of the Heart

In the shadows deep, I quietly weep

Lost in my fortress, secrets I keep

Walking through the night, my heart heavy and torn

Seeking warmth in the cold, feeling forlorn

Questions spinning wild, what am I doing wrong?

Trying to hold on, to where I belong

Demons whisper tales of doubt and despair

Fighting monsters I can't see, I swear

But I rise each dawn, in darkness I glare

Searching for a strength that’s rare

Broken but still fighting, against the dark

Craving love’s light, a gentle spark

Through the shadows I chase, I won’t fall apart

This battle within, deep in my heart

Every scar a story, every tear a clue

Trying to understand what I should do

Time’s a teacher, cruel but kind too

Waiting for a sign, a breakthrough

Doubts try to drown me, but I stand tall

Fighting fears that try to make me crawl

In the silent night, I hear my call

To find the courage and break the wall

Broken but still fighting, against the dark

Craving love’s light, a gentle spark

Through the shadows I chase, I won’t fall apart

This battle within, deep in my heart

No need for apologies, I just need to be

To find my way back, set my spirit free

Every step I take, a new victory

In my own shadow, I plant a seed

So I’ll keep fighting, till I see the dawn

Even in shadows, I’ll move on

Strength from pain, in me it’s drawn

The final battle, I’ll carry on
