I hear the echoes of cries everywhere,
In this dark alley, danger lingers in the air.
It was a fine morning when it all began,
But as the sun set, the night sealed the plan.
Whispers and shadows, words sharp like knives,
People talking negatively behind veiled lives.
Smiles worn like masks during silent attacks,
Pulling each other down just to lift themselves back.
I whisper to myself, “I must leave this place,”
Where toxic energy clouds every face.
A world where selfishness seeks glory’s crown,
Where kindness and truth are trampled down.
Before it’s too late, I need to break free,
To not let this darkness consume me.
The air is heavy, suffocating my soul,
In this battle for peace, I must take control.
The way out is clear, yet many remain,
Chasing hollow pleasures that bring only pain.
A game where enemies wear friendly smiles,
Where joy is found in others’ trials.
I choose to stand against this bitter tide,
To forgive, to heal, to walk with pride.
In this toxic place, I will find my own way,
And step into the light of a brighter day.
