In shadows deep, where whispers sigh,
I dwell alone, beneath a heavy sky.
A darkness wraps around my heart,
And I feel so weary, just want to depart.
I thought of ending this endless night,
But my therapist spoke, brought my truth to light.
Now my parents know, and their love shines through,
Gentle reminders of all I must do.
A baby sister soon to be here,
Her tiny giggles, I want them near.
I promised to stay, to hold her tight,
But some nights I tremble at the depth of my fight.
The light breaks softly through cracks in the gloom,
A flicker of hope in a quiet room.
Yet still I feel scared, the darkness still presses,
What if the shadows come back to possess us?
I’m grateful for love, these reminders so kind,
But the weight of the world can still feel blind.
I cling to this promise, I push through the pain,
For her little smile, I’ll strive to remain.
Each day a battle, each breath a new chance,
In this fragile dance, I’ll hold on, advance.
Still scared of a day when I break at the seam,
But for her, I fight, I will hold onto the dream.
