Beneath the Shadows, Beyond the Light
A Phoenix's Tale
In shadows cast by flickering light,
A boy with eyes dim, lost in the night.
In the corners of a house, echoes of pain,
A struggle unfolds, a heart's silent strain.
A child of innocence, marked by despair,
Invisible wounds, too heavy to bear.
The walls witness whispers, a broken symphony,
Of a boy seeking solace, a plea for amnesty.
Behind closed doors, a tempest rages,
A tempest of anger, relentless pages.
His parents, once pillars, now crumble like dust,
Leaving the boy to fend, his spirit to trust.
Harsh words like arrows pierce his tender soul,
A battlefield at home, where shadows take their toll.
His laughter silenced, a melody erased,
In the gallery of silence, his pain is encased.
Bruises hidden beneath sleeves and lies,
A cloak of deception veils tear-stained eyes.
Yet, he stands resilient, against the storm,
A fragile vessel in a world deform.
His heartache grows, a thorny vine,
Twisting through his days, a tale malign.
Each moment unfolds, a chapter of strife,
An unspoken narrative of a fractured life.
In the hush of the night, he dreams of flight,
To escape the chains, find solace in the light.
But the weight on his shoulders, a burden profound,
Keeps him tethered to shadows that tightly surround.
Loneliness echoes in the halls he roams,
In the tapestry of torment, he feels alone.
Yet, within his gaze, a flicker remains,
A dim spark of hope that endures the pains.
The crescendo of despair, a haunting tune,
Plays in the backdrop of his tormented moon.
Yet, beyond his eyes, beneath the surface so deep,
There lies a glimmer, a promise to keep.
In the darkest hour, when all seems lost,
He discovers strength, pays the cost.
For beyond the shadows, a new dawn ignites,
Guided by resilience, he takes his flight.
His story unfolds, a phoenix in the night,
Rising from ashes, embracing the light.
The boy who once struggled, defeated by pain,
Now emerges victorious, free from the chain.
