Echoes of the Dark: The Battle Within

In the depths of mankind, a tale unfolds,

Between good and evil that forever collides.

A labyrinth of secrets that's hard to perceive.

It oftentimes forgets compassion's roots.

Evil lurks in corners, hidden from sight.

With every choice made, darkness may prevail,

Leaving behind scars that never truly heal.

But let us not forget the light within us all,

A flicker of hope when we stumble and fall.

For even in darkness, goodness can reside,

Though the heart may be tainted with sin and vice,

There is still potential for love to arise.

Through acts of kindness and empathy's embrace,

So let us strive for goodness despite our flaws,

To break free from the grip of wickedness' claws.

For in the heart of men lies both good and bad;

It's up to us to decide which path we'll tread.
