The Depths of Despair

In shadows I dwell, where darkness resides,
A prisoner of thoughts, where hope subsides.
Depression's grip, a heavy chain,
Whispering doubts, fueling the pain.
Self-harm's allure, a tempting release,
A fleeting escape, a moment of peace.
But scars remain, a haunting reminder,
Of battles fought, wounds left behind her.
Suicide's call, a siren's sweet song,
Promising solace, where nothing feels wrong.
But death's embrace, a cold, empty void,
Leaving behind loved ones, forever destroyed.
I yearn for light, a glimmer of hope,
To break free from chains, learn to cope.
To find strength within, to rise above,
To embrace life's beauty, to cherish love.
For in the depths of despair, a flicker remains,
A resilient spirit, defying the pains.
With every breath, a chance to renew,
To heal, to grow, to find my way through.
So let us fight, together we stand,
Against the darkness, hand in hand.
For life is precious, a gift to behold,
A story unfolding, waiting to be told.
