Trying my best.

In the realm of shadows where the sun doth not reach,

Where whispers of doubt are my constant speech,

I wander alone, a soul so unsure,

With a heart that's a stage for a silent, unseen war.

My eyes, they sparkle with a borrowed light,

A beacon of hope in the deepest night,

But under the surface, the battles rage,

In the quiet confines of my cage.

You think you know, but you cannot conceive,

The labyrinth of thoughts that I must achieve,

To find the true essence of what it means to be me,

'Neath the weight of the world, so heavy, so vast.

The laughter you hear is a mask I've found,

To shield from the tears that so often abound,

When I'm lost in the maze of my mind,

Where fears and regrets are forever entwined.

I've climbed mountains that only I've seen,

Swum in oceans where no one's ever been,

But the victory's hollow, the prize undefined,

For the quest is not over, it's just designed.

You think I've figured it out, that I'm free,

But the truth is, I'm just trying to be,

The person you think is so clear in your sight,

But the mirror shows a different, more fragile plight.

The stars in the sky seem so far,

But they're closer than who I really are,

The mask I wear, so bright and so bold,

Hides the pages of a story untold.

I've danced with the devil in the moon's soft glow,

And wrestled with angels, so white and so low,

In the battleground of my soul's deepest pit,

Where the shadows play and the demons sit.

Yet, for every tear that I've shed in vain,

I've learned to stand in the storms of my pain,

To hold on tight to the hope that's within,

The strength to fight till the battles thin.

You think you know me, so high and so proud,

But I'm just a girl, lost in a vast crowd,

Looking for the path that's true and right,

In a world that's black and white by day, colorless by night.

I will survive 

In the shadowed vale of despair, where darkness often reigns,

Where the whispers of doubt and defeat lay their heavy chains,

I emerge with a heart that's aflame, untamed by the night,

With a soul that soars high above the fray, reaching for the light.

I am not a leaf in the storm, blown by fate's fickle whims,

But a mighty oak with deep roots, growing strong, steadfast, and grim.

You'd think to break me with your trials, to force me to bend,

But I stand tall and proud, my spirit will never end.

Oh, I won't just survive, I'll thrive, I'll rise above,

Your words of doubt are but the wind that strengthens my love.

Can't write my story, it's a tale untold,

I'm beyond the archetype,
