Echoes of darkness
In the shadowed depths of a weary soul,
Lies the haunting echoes that depression stole.
A struggle unseen, but felt deep within,
A battle waged beneath a painted grin.
There's a weight that lingers, heavy and vast,
An unwelcome visitor from the tempestuous past.
In the labyrinth of thoughts, it takes its toll,
Engulfing the spirit, dampening the soul.
In the gloomy haze of relentless despair,
Emotions entangle, suffocating the air.
Every heartbeat muffled, drained of its might,
As darkness consumes the once vibrant light.
The world turns grey, once vibrant and warm,
The whispers of joy silenced in this storm.
Days blend together, lost in a haze,
As the mind spirals into a murky daze.
But amidst these struggles, there's a flicker of hope,
A fragile light that finds the means to cope.
It whispers softly, tender and true,
Reminding the weary heart that it will pull through.
In moments of solace, a hand reaches out,
A friend, a loved one, banishing the doubt.
Their compassion, a lifeline in the dark,
A glimpse of sunlight, a much-needed spark.
The journey is arduous, an uphill climb,
But with patience and courage, there's hope to find.
With every step forward, wounds start to heal,
And a new strength awakens with every ordeal.
For you are not alone in your silent fight,
There's a collective strength in the darkest night.
Together we stand, resilient and profound,
Supporting each other, hearts firmly bound.
So hold onto hope and cherish the light,
For through these struggles, you shall take flight.
With time, love, and understanding as your guide,
May the shadows recede, and your spirit rise.

You are seen, you are heard, your pain understood,
Together we'll conquer, and emerge stronger and good.
