The Hidden Poet

The Beauty in the Void

I wander through the empty space 

Where shadows dance upon the wall 

The silence is a heavy weight 

That presses down, and makes me fall

The world outside is full of sound 

But here, within these lonely bounds 

I'm lost in thoughts that swirl around 

A maze of memories that wound

I search for solace in the night 

But darkness hides, and I take flight 

I chase the ghosts that haunt my mind 

And try to find a peace of mind

But even dreams can't bring me peace 

For in their wake, I'm left to cease 

To be the person I used to be 

A stranger to my own identity

The mirror shows a reflection old 

A face that's worn, and stories untold 

I'm left to wonder what went wrong 

Why I'm alone, where did I go wrong?

The world outside moves on and on 

Leaving me behind, all day long 

I'm left to face the empty space 

And wonder if I'll ever find my place

But even in this darkest night 

There's beauty found in the silence bright 

A chance to heal, to mend and grow 

To find myself, and make my own way to go

Perhaps one day, when darkness fades 

I'll rise again, with a new shade 

And find my voice, and learn to say 

"I'm not alone, I've found my way".
