A world lost in shadows, deep and blue,
A broken hearted woman, her spirit askew,
Her mind entangled in a web of despair,
Aching heart bleeding, she feels stripped bare.

It's with a heavy heart I write,
Of a woman's pain, veiled in the night,
Her spirit shattered, burdened with grief,
A storm of thoughts, seeking no relief.

In the depths of anguish, she finds no rest,
Haunted by demons that torment her chest,
Mental illness, a cruel and relentless foe,
Leaving her feeling trapped, nowhere to go.

Her smile fades, replaced by silent tears,
As she battles demons consuming her years,
The weight of darkness upon her soul,
Leaving her feeling empty, lost and unwhole.
