lost in the darkness

In a dark place, shadows lurk in the residence, Whispers in the silence, echoes of the pestilence. Pressure on the mind, feel the weight of the evidence, Life’s a game of chess, but these moves lack benevolence. Do what you’re told, don’t be a hero, it’s perilous, Knock you down to zero, dreams turn to a mirage. Materialistic grip, let it go like a pharaoh’s wish, Chasing ghosts of gold, but it’s all just a mirage. In the depths of despair, where the light feels irrelevant, Hustle for the paper, but it’s all just a sentiment. Dark nights, cold fights, battling the negligence, Searching for a spark, but the flame’s lost its elegance. Navigate the maze, where the lost souls roam free, Haunted by the choices, feeling trapped in a decree. Eyes wide shut, in a world that’s treacherous, Life’s a heavy load, but I’m breaking the fetters, thus. In a dark place, shadows lurk, they creeping close, Gotta face the ghosts, I’m the king, they a mere host, Whispers in the wind, hear the tales they boast, But I’m the one that’s shining, watch me raise my toast. Echoes in the hall, where the silence looms, I’m the spark in the night, breaking all the gloom, With a heart full of courage, I’m defying doom, Got the fire in my soul, watch the shadows fume. Step into the light, got the power in my veins, Every struggle that I faced is the fuel for my gains, Like a phoenix from the ashes, rising through the pains, I’m the storm in the calm, breaking all the chains. Never backin' down, I’m the voice of the street, In this dark residence, I’m the light they seek, With each breath I take, I’m reclaiming my peak, Confidence on blast, hear the truth when I speak. @kingshit89
