*Chorus*
In the shadows, I’ll find my fight,
Searching for strength to embrace the light.
Though the darkness whispers, I’ll stand my ground,
With every heartbeat, I’m strength unbound.

Sitting on the edge of my bed, I feel the weight of the world pressing down. The room is dim, shadows creeping in from the corners, and I can barely breathe. Every breath feels heavy, like I’m dragging a weight behind me. It’s as if the darkness wraps around me, suffocating, whispering that I don’t matter.

I look out the window, but the world outside seems so distant, so alive, and I feel like I’m fading away. Memories flood my mind, ghosts from my past that refuse to let me rest. I recall laughter shared, but now it feels hollow, like echoes of a life I don’t belong to anymore.

Tears soak my pillow each night, a silent testament to the pain I carry. I wear a smile during the day, an armor to hide the emptiness inside, but it’s just a facade. I reach out for help, but it feels like shouting into a void. No one hears me; no one sees the struggle etched on my face. I’m trapped in this cycle, and the walls are closing in tighter each day.

I find myself scrolling through my phone, searching for connection, but every notification feels like a reminder of how alone I am. Friends seem so happy, so fulfilled, and I wonder what’s wrong with me. I should be grateful, shouldn’t I? But gratitude feels like another weight, a burden I can’t carry.

*Chorus*
In the shadows, I’ll find my fight,
Searching for strength to embrace the light.
Though the darkness whispers, I’ll stand my ground,
With every heartbeat, I’m strength unbound.

As night falls, the silence grows louder. I’m standing on the brink, ready to let go. The thought of escape lingers, tempting me with promises of peace. But then I think of the people I’d leave behind, and guilt washes over me. Would they even notice? Would they care?

I close my eyes and imagine a flicker of light, a reason to stay. But each moment feels heavier, each thought a reminder of my despair. I’m just so tired of fighting, tired of pretending. I want to scream, to cry, to let it all out, but the words get stuck in my throat.

Then, as I sit there in the darkness, I remember a time when hope felt real. A moment when laughter wasn’t a mask, when I felt alive. I take a deep breath, feeling the air fill my lungs, and I realize that maybe, just maybe, there’s still a chance.

With trembling hands, I reach for my phone again. Maybe this time, I’ll call someone. Maybe I won’t let the darkness win. In that moment, I choose to fight back, to push through the pain. I’m not ready to let go. I want to find my way back to the light. I want to believe that tomorrow can be different. And so, I take that step, ready to face whatever comes next, knowing that I’m not alone in this struggle.

*Chorus*
In the shadows, I’ll find my fight,
Searching for strength to embrace the light.
Though the darkness whispers, I’ll stand my ground,
With every heartbeat, I’m strength unbound.
