The Void

In the shadow of euphoria, there’s a valley deep and wide,
Where the souls wander, lost, on a perilous ride,
Chasing dragons in the mist, on the edge, they slide,
Grasping for salvation, in the chemicals they confide.

This is the labyrinth of the mind, twisted, undefined,
Where reality blurs, and fantasies are intertwined,
A carousel of dreams and nightmares, malign,
Seeking solace in the poison, a deadly design.

Underneath the city lights, where the truth hides in plain sight,
There’s a war within, a constant, tireless fight,
Battling demons, invisible, taking flight,
In the silence of the chaos, darkness versus light.

Whispers in the void, promises unkept,
Illusions of peace, in the tears wept,
A mirage of escape, where many have leapt,
In the depths of despair, secrets are swept.

Dive into the psyche, where the shadows creep,
Where the echoes of the past, into the present seep,
A dance with destiny, a slope so steep,
In the realm of addiction, the cost is steep.

So hear the tale of the lost, not with pity, but reflection,
Understand the journey, fraught with misdirection,
In the narrative of struggle, there’s a connection,
A call for empathy, support, and affection.

Remember, the battle’s fought in the mind’s complex sections,
Where the strongest weapon is love, and its countless projections.
