Haunted by nightmares

--- In the depths of a nightmare, I find myself trapped, Bad memories echo, my heart feels wrapped. Chains of the past pull tight on my soul, Blackmailing whispers that take their toll. Physically harassed, I carry the scars, A battle within me, beneath all these stars. Fully alone, in a world so unkind, Searching for solace, for peace in my mind. Pain like a shadow that follows me near, Yet I hold onto hope, despite all the fear. Though darkness surrounds me and tears may fall, I’ll rise from the ashes; I’ll stand tall through it all. Each step is a journey, a path to reclaim, The strength that is hidden beneath all this pain. So here in the silence, I’ll learn to be free, For in my own heart lies the power of me. --- ~Mansi verma
