In the shadows of my mind, they dwell,

Phantoms of the past, voices that compel,

Whispering secrets I thought were long gone,

It is haunting me like a mournful song.

Their spectral presence, a chilling refrain,

Echoing through the chambers of my brain,

Memories long buried now stirred awake,

They are leaving me restless, unable to shake.

They visit me in the dead of night,

Ghosts of regrets, stirring up a fight,

Their daunting fingers clawing at my soul,

They are leaving me broken, a vessel with a hole.

Their haunting eyes, like formless fire,

Burning through my heart’s deepest desire,

They dance, and they taunt, they manipulate,

They are leaving me helpless, in a state of fate.

The echoes of their laughter fill the air,

A haunting symphony that’s too hard to bear,

Their presence lingers, a ghostly embrace,

They are leaving me lost in this haunted space.

But amidst the darkness, a glimmer of light,

A flicker of hope broke through the night,

I rise from the ashes of my haunted past,

We are embracing the future, breaking the cast.

For though they haunt me, they cannot define,

The strength within me continues to shine,

I’ll face these ghosts with courage and grace,

For I am more than the haunt they try to embrace.

So haunt me no more, oh phantoms of dust,

I’ll cast you away; in faith, I will trust,

For I am the master of my fate,

And I’ll conquer the haunting, however late.

Now I walk with purpose, head held high,

Leaving the haunting behind, waving it goodbye,

For, in the end, it’s not the ghosts that define,

But the strength within me continues to shine.
