In shadows deep, where futures fade,
And dreams dissolve in cold cascade,
We wander through this fractured place,
Yet still, we seek a glimmered trace.
The world may burn, the skies may weep,
And broken hearts in silence sleep,
But in the cracks of shattered stone,
There blooms a hope that’s all our own.
A single star in darkest night,
A flicker in the endless fight,
It whispers softly through the haze,
That even in the direst maze,
We find the strength to rise again,
To fight the storm, to break the chains,
For though the world may crumble down,
We wear resilience like a crown.
In each small act, in love we give,
In kindness shared, we choose to live—
For even when the sky is torn,
A brighter dawn can still be born.
So, in this world that seems to fall,
Hold hope within, and stand up tall.
Through every dark and bitter climb,
Hope will endure in dystopian times.
