The Other Side

There's a stranger in the mirror, a story in their eyes,

Reflections of someone lost, tangled up in lies.

I linger at the edge, where fear and hope collide,

Caught between the darkness and the light on the other side.

Every step feels hollow, every breath tastes like smoke,

Chasing down a memory, haunted by words unspoke.

This silence feels like prison, these walls hold my cries,

Yearning for the freedom just beyond the ties.

If I could break this quiet, drown the doubts I keep,

Step into the unknown, past the secrets I've buried deep.
