In shadows cast by closed eyes tight, I wander through unending night. Bound by silence, rage can't spill, A cage I break, yet I'm here still. Fortune absent, doors remain sealed, My thoughts spin alone, never healed. Is my mind unraveling's thread, Or am I dreaming dark, in bed? Voices whisper, "Stay with me, Prisoner lost, never truly free." I reach for air, suffocate in fear, Bound by chains that keep me here. Hunger gnaws with bony bite, In darkness, fever fans the night. No hand to help or heart to care, While shadows laugh in whispered prayer. In every blink, my demons prance, A tired soul, in endless dance. "Release me," I scream to mocking skies, In dark dreams where my sanity lies. Each plea echoes, unanswered call, Trapped inside this night-bound thrall. Even now, as I beg and scheme, I remain a prisoner in this unending dream.
