Any and Everything

Descending deep, where shadows reside,
In the crypt of sorrow, emotions hide.

I don’t want to feel, numbness is my shield.
But, alas, in this silence, my destiny is sealed.

I have danced with death many a night.
Yet, somehow, I emerge to the light.

Life, a stern mistress, cruel and cold.
Yet, her harsh whispers and stories unfold.

Time, an ever-present phantom, sly.
Whispers of futures where dreams die.

I no longer seek another’s embrace.
In solitude’s arms, I find my place.

Happiness, a fleeting ghost we chase,
In our labyrinth, a never-ending race.

I am lost in thoughts, a stormy maze,
Wishing for dawn to pierce this haze.
