Shadows in the Light

Title: Shadows in the Light

In a household where smiles deceive,
Beneath perfection, secrets do conceive,
The facade of bliss, a mask so clever,
But beneath the surface, storms will gather.

Discord disguised as laughs and play,
Yet turmoil looms in every day,
Chained by expectations we cannot bear,
In this dysfunctional haven of despair.

Unseen battles fought behind closed doors,
Shattered fragments upon marble floors,
Silent screams echo in lonely nights,
As fractured hearts yearn for rays of light.

Inconspicuous wounds etched on tender souls,
Growing up in chaos, a bitter toll,
For love, a scarce currency in those walls,
Leaving hearts yearning for the lifting of veils.

And though the world sees an idyllic view,
We know the truth in shades of blue,
The struggles we bear, hidden from sight,
We’re survivors even in the darkest night.

But with resilience, we’ll break free,
Unleashing the strength we long to see,
For in the realm of dysfunction, we find our might,
Turning darkness into beauty, our ultimate fight.
