They don’t want to look within,

It’s too scary in there.

A maze of thoughts so dark,

A mind fraught with despair.

👹👹👹

Behind every closed door,

Lurks a shadowed fear.

Silent whispers grow louder,

Each time they draw near.

👹👹👹

A mirror shows their faces,

Twisted in silent screams.

Lost in endless corridors,

Haunted by their dreams.

👹👹👹

face the shadows

👹👹👹

Beneath a calm facade,

Rage storms in their eyes.

Battling with themselves,

Hiding behind lies.

👹👹👹

But monsters lose their power,

When faced with the light.

Courage is born within,

Even in the darkest night.

👹👹👹

When you dare to look inside,

Face the shadows head-on.

It’s in the heart’s deepest battles,

That true strength is born.
