In the shadows of my mind, where the demons reside, Life struggles and addiction, a turbulent ride, Chasing highs to numb the pain inside, But in this darkness, my true self hides. Lost in the maze of my own creation, Addiction's grip, a suffocating sensation, Struggling to break free from this damnation, Yearning for light in this desolate situation. The highs are fleeting, the lows are deep, In this battle, my soul I seek to keep, Through the struggles and tears that creep, I fight for redemption, from this abyss so steep. Life's struggles intertwined with addiction's grasp, A vicious cycle, a relentless clasp, But in the depths of despair, I find my rasp, A voice of strength, a will to clasp. I rise from the ashes, against all odds, Breaking free from the chains and the façades, Embracing life's struggles, fighting the frauds, A warrior reborn, guided by the gods.
