Trapped in Shadows

All alone
On my own
In this world of darkness
I stand alone
No one else can truly help,
I can only rely on my heart
In the shadows of truth,
I lay stuck
I push them away,
But they always come back
I could never escape
Or I could break through
This dark, dark lair
I will always remember
The good I've seen
But sometimes,
These dark shadows
Creep into my thoughts
There may not be many,
But they're always here
No matter how hard I try
I could never avoid even one
Darker times come,
But they always pass by
Eventually you forget,
But they're never fully gone
In the darkest hour,
The memories burn
But can never truly hurt
Unless you allow them to
Eventually, they fade away
Even at the end of your days
The ache can linger
But cannot do much harm
