Abyss

In the shadows they roam, lost and forlorn, Seeking solace in darkness, feeling torn. Each step heavier than the last, Their burdens weighing down, shadows cast. A chorus of whispers, voices bleak, Echoing doubts they're afraid to speak. In the depths of despair, they contemplate, The tempting allure of a final fate. But amidst the bleakness, a flicker ignites, A glimmer of hope amidst endless nights. For even the strongest steel must endure, The flames of adversity, trials obscure. Like the katana forged in the fire's embrace, They too must endure, find their place. Through trials and pain, they'll emerge anew, Stronger, sharper, resilient, true. So let them not succumb to despair's embrace, But rise from the ashes, find their grace. For in the darkest of nights, stars shine bright, And in the depths of despair, there's still light.
