In the silent corridors of my mind,
Echoes of longing and fear intertwine.
Shadows stretch in the twilight's wake,
Today I am desperate, my spirit aches.
The dawn breaks with a muted cry,
Colors fade from the morning sky.
Hope feels distant, a star far away,
Today I am desperate, led astray.
Whispers of dreams once held tight,
Slip through fingers in the dead of night.
The weight of the world on shoulders bare,
Today I am desperate, gasping for air.
In the depths of this darkened sea,
I search for a fragment of who I used to be.
Waves of sorrow crash and moan,
Today I am desperate, utterly alone.
Yet in this chaos, a flicker of light,
A spark of resilience, burning bright.
Through the despair, a voice so clear,
Today I am desperate, but I persevere.
For within this storm, I find my way,
Strength in vulnerability, come what may.
Though today I am desperate, tomorrow I might find,
Peace in the pieces, solace in my mind.
