NOWHERE

In the valley of despair, I stand alone,
Lost in a world where hope has all but flown.
Nowhere to turn, no solace in sight,
I am trapped in the silence of this endless night.

Words elude me, like ghosts in the mist,
My pleas for help remain clenched in a fist.
In this vast expanse, a desolate land,
I am a wanderer lost, with no guiding hand.

The stars above seem distant and cold,
Their secrets hidden, their stories untold.
I reach out for guidance, but they remain afar,
Leaving me stranded, beneath the endless star.

No map to lead, no compass to guide,
I am adrift in a sea of thoughts, deep and wide.
Nowhere to ask, no voice to implore,
I am a lost soul yearning for something more.

In this world of silence, I long to be found,
To escape this nowhere, where I am tightly bound.
But until that moment, when rescue appears,
I will remain in the nowhere, lost in my fears.
