In shadows deep, where light dares not tread,
Resides a specter with a voice of lead.
It whispers softly, a mournful hymn,
A melody of sorrow, dark and grim.

Its touch like ice, its grip so tight,
It steals away the warmth of light.
A heavy cloak of emptiness it weaves,
Ensnaring hearts in endless sieves.

In the caverns of the mind, it roams,
A relentless tempest, tearing homes.
It paints the world in shades of gray,
And dims the sun in the sky's array.

But amidst the gloom, a flicker gleams,
A spark of hope in the darkest dreams.
For in the depths, resilience resides,
A flame that burns, refusing to hide.

Though the road is long, and shadows loom,
There's strength within to break the gloom.
With every step, a battle won,
Until the dawn unveils the sun.

Oh, how it whispers, that voice of despair,
Echoing doubts in the still midnight air.
It weighs heavy on shoulders, bowed and worn,
Leaving hearts shattered, tattered, and torn.

Yet, in the silence, there lies a refrain,
A quiet melody, untouched by pain.
It sings of healing, of light beyond night,
A beacon of hope, burning bright.

Through the labyrinth of doubt and fear,
There's a path to a horizon clear.
Where the sun kisses the morning sky,
And sorrow's chains begin to untie.

So hold on tight, oh weary soul,
For you are stronger than you know.
With courage as your guiding light,
You'll conquer the darkest night.

For even in the depths of despair,
There's a glimmer of hope, tender and rare.
And though the journey may seem long,
You'll find your voice in the siren's song.

In the symphony of life's ebb and flow,
Your spirit will rise, your heart aglow.
For every trial, every tear you've shed,
Has carved the path to light ahead.
