DEJA VÚ

Shadows of Deja Vu

In the quiet corners of my restless mind,

Dark thoughts whisper, their echoes unkind.

A familiar dread, like a recurring dream,

Patterns of the past, or so it would seem.

Shadows dance, in the twilight of thought,

Battling the light, with fears they've brought.

Is this deja vu, or just my mind's fray,

Questioning reality, day after day?

The same old worries, 

circle and swoop,

In an endless loop,

 they seem to regroup.

Am I overthinking, 

or is history's page,

Turning once more,

 to the very same stage?

Yet in this struggle,

 where darkness collides,

A glimmer of hope,

 persistently abides.

For even if patterns

 are set to replay,

I'll face them anew,

 come what may.

So let the night fall, 

let the thoughts fight,

I'll stand my ground,

 I'll seek the light.

With each new dawn,

 I'll find my way,

Through shadows of deja vu, 

into the day.
