Eclipsed by Shadow Based off juice wrlds song already dead In the echo of a hollow dawn, I tread on dreams that feel so gone, A ghost of laughter lost in despair, I wear my grief like a heavy air. Each heartbeat weighs like lead in my chest, A silent war I cannot rest, Eyes that glimmer, yet see no day, Searching for light in a world of gray. Memories haunt like a bitter ghost, Moments of joy that feel like a boast, Trapped in a cycle of endless night, Fighting a battle with fading light. A mask I wear, cracked and stained, Hiding a soul that feels so pained, Every “I’m fine” a desperate lie, Behind the facade, I silently cry. The weight of the past, it clings like sin, A tapestry woven with threads of the grim, Wishing for peace, but finding regret, A heart that’s heavy with love unmet. In shadows where echoes softly tread, I whisper truths that I fear to shed, For in this life, I find no reprieve, Just lessons learned but never believed. So here I linger, in moments I dread, With a heart that feels already dead, Yet even in darkness, I still reach out, For a flicker of hope amidst all the doubt.

This is really good Nas, Ily and keep going♡
this is heavy, but the honesty is beautiful. You put feelings into words that most people can’t even admit to themselves. Even in all that darkness, you can still hear the strength in you, the part that refuses to give up. I’m proud of you for letting it out. keep it up man
this is one beautiful essay !!!!!!
WAIT I SAID ESSAY??? I MEANT POEM
I was saying essay cuz I'm doing one
The feelings in this poem are very clear grief, numbness,regret, hiding pain,all expressed with honesty that's exactly what makes juice wrld's music hit and you captured that same emotional heaviness. The poem sits in the darkness which fits but adding even one brief of hope, anger, or longing can make the emotional arc hit harder. But good job nas I love it
