The Strife of Shadows and Sunrises

In ‘The Strife of Shadows and Sunrises’, I’ve tried to capture my personal journey navigating the tumultuous waters of depression. Each line was penned as a beacon of hope, pulling me from the shadowy edges back towards the light. I’ve ventured into the realm of repetitive verses for the first time, using them as rhythmic anchors. Through this poem, I wish to share not just my battles but the resilience and hope that writing instills in me. I hope it resonates with others who might be treading similar paths.
