The battle within
A storm inside, where silence screams,
the world seems lost, or so it seems.
The heart fights on, though hope is thin,
in darkness deep, the light begins.
A war of thoughts, a soul in strife,
the pain of dreams, the edge of life.
But through the tears and endless night,
A spark emerges, faint but bright.
The doubts may rage, the fears may grow,
but in the heart, a seed will sow.
For every fall, there’s strength to rise,
a new tomorrow in the skies.
So hold on tight, though winds may tear,
through every shadow, hope is there.
The battle fought, the victory near,
a brighter dawn will soon appear.
