Shadows Within

Numbness wraps, cold and tight, Lost in thoughts, endless night.

Smile's a mask, tears unseen, Inside, turmoil, self-esteem.

When darkness seeps, crushing weight, Light's gone, annihilate.

Colors fade, emotions stray, Void whispers, endless gray.

Numbness suffocates, tight embrace, In the fog, no breathing space.

Trapped thoughts, no escape key, Unspoken burdens, heavy decree.

Days blur, all the same, Numb and empty, no aim.

Smile hides pain, tears fall free, In the silence, just me.
