in Shadows of a broken world

In a world where shadows bleed, Cruelty reigns, with endless greed, Kind hearts crushed beneath its weight, Innocence turned to bitter fate. Once so soft, untouched by pain, Now shaped by fear, like heavy chains, The gentle souls, too soon they learn, The world is cold, the flames still burn. Each word a cut, each glance a blow, Shaping souls in ways unknown, The innocence that once stood tall, Now crumbles as the darkness calls. Through tears that fall like silent rain, A fragile hope fights through the strain, But still the world, with savage hand, Carves out the hearts that barely stand
