Chained Shadows Poem by Lilith Van'Nightinveil

In shadows deep where whispers crawl,
A monster's heart begins to fall.
In twisted shapes and forms unknown,
A soul resides, forever thrown.

Eyes that gleam with sorrowed hue,
Reflecting pain the world can't view.
A mask of fear, a shroud of night,
To hide from dawn's relentless light.

In every step, a weight of chains,
In every breath, the taste of pains.
The world outside a hostile place,
Where every glance confirms disgrace.

In solitude, a silent plea,
'Why can't this life belong to me? '
A monster's form, a human cry,
Beneath the moon's indifferent eye.

This skin, this shape, a prison tight,
Where echoes of a dream ignite.
A world not meant for what I bear,
A constant scream, a whispered prayer.

In twilight's grip, the truth lays bare,
A monster's pain, a soul's despair.
Yet somewhere deep, a spark may glow,
A hope that someday, peace will flow.
