Beneath the painted canvas of the darkest sky,

A weary sun rises, its light a distant cry.

Across the restless ocean, its rays stretch wide,

But within me, the shadows still reside.

~~~~~~

I stand alone on the shore, waves at my feet,

The salt-kissed breeze whispers of a tale bittersweet.

The sun’s feeble attempt to break through the gloom,

Reflects my own struggle, my internal tomb.

~~~~~~

As dawn breaks, the ocean’s waves collide,

A reflection of the turmoil within, I can’t hide.

The beauty of the horizon, a distant land,

Yet my soul’s compass is held in depression’s hand.

~~~~~~

Oh, sunrise, you paint the world with a fiery glow,

While I’m trapped in the depths of the undertow.

Your radiant colors highlight the abyss,

A reminder of the darkness I’m unable to dismiss.
