Shadows of despair

The will to live has faded away, Paths once clear now lost in disarray.
Every ache pierces like a knife, No solace found, no comfort in life.
Neither sun's warm touch nor shade's reprieve,
 No gentle breeze, no village's peaceful leave,
Not even birdsong brings a smile, We're shattered fragments of a hidden trial.
 Fate's wounds run deep, we're tormented by our own, Every step forward, an abyss is sown.
A mother's love knows no defeat, she'd say,
But we can't bear the hypocrisy of the fray,
 Yet for one life, we die a thousand times,
In this endless struggle, our hearts entwine. Poetess.Mrs.Minakshi Wakode Moon
