In the hush of night, a whispered sigh, Chagrin's shadow upon my sky, A canvas painted in hues of blue, A tale of self lost, a journey anew. Once I stood with banner high, A warrior for truth, reaching for the sky, But now I'm lost in a maze unknown, A symphony of questions, a solo tone. Oh, chagrin, you wield your art, A mirror reflecting a fractured heart, The cause I championed, so crystal clear, Now wrapped in mist, distant and unclear. I grapple within, a battle untold, A clash of desires, a story of old, For what I fought for, with courage ablaze, Now tangled in a web of endless maze. Unraveling threads of the tapestry spun, Seeking the heart of what I'd done, Why do I wrestle with shadows of me, As if the past's echo holds the key? The mirror reveals a stranger's gaze, A puzzle of memories in a timeless haze, The purpose once fierce, now a distant light, Chagrin's whispered song in the still of night. Yet in this struggle, a journey unfolds, A quest for the self, a story untold, Chagrin, my companion, leads the way, To self-awareness dawning like the break of day. In the depths of the struggle, a truth takes form, A chance to heal, to weather the storm, For in chagrin's embrace, I find the grace, To reconcile the past and find my place. So I'll face the unknown blue with grace, A dance with chagrin, in this sacred space, And as I battle within, with courage I stand, Reclaiming the purpose, hand in hand.
