Shadows of a Soul

Through the veil of night I wander,

Lost in the abyss of my own mind.
Echoes of torment, shadows that ponder,
Consuming the light, leaving me blind.

The demons within, they taunt and they jeer,
Whispering voices that fill me with dread.
Dragging me deeper into the fear,
Burying the hope that once lay ahead.

I grasp at the threads of my sanity,
Clawing my way through the darkness that reigns.
But the weight of this endless calamity
Threatens to shatter my very veins.

In the depths of despair, I search for reprieve,
A glimmer of solace to ease this cold pain.
Yet the shadows persist, refusing to leave,
Trapping my soul in their merciless chain.

Will I ever escape this tormented abyss?
Or am I doomed to forever remain
In the clutches of nightmares, void of true bliss,
My spirit consumed by this endless refrain?

The silence is deafening, the anguish intense,
As I wander these halls of the damned.
My very existence, a living offense,
Condemned to this ***, forever unmanned.
