Scars Turn Gold

Every morning feels like rain against my skin,

Learned to hide the storm and lock the pain within.

Too many nights spent broken on the floor,

Too many voices telling me I’m worth no more.

Words like knives still cutting through my chest,

“You are nothing” — heard it so much I believed the rest.

Mirrors only show the damage and the blame,

But never all the battles hidden in my veins.

And I carry these shadows like chains made of stone,

But deep inside a whisper says, “You’re not alone.”

’Cause scars turn gold when you survive the fire,

Even when the world keeps dragging you through the wire.

You are stronger than the hands that made you bleed,

Stronger than the voices feeding on your grief.

And when you fall — stand up once more,

Your heart still beats, don’t lose this war.

Cold rooms, empty eyes, a soul full of fear,

Crying in the silence where nobody could hear.

I lost myself somewhere between the hate and shame,

Trying to carry all the weight they used to place.

They wanted me shattered like glass in the wind,

But there’s still a fire burning deep within.

Every scar became a lesson, not a grave,

A broken heart still learns how to be brave.

And when the darkness tries to pull you underneath,

Remember even endless nights will someday leave.

’Cause scars turn gold when you survive the fire,

Even when the world keeps dragging you through the wire.

You are stronger than the hands that made you bleed,

Stronger than the voices feeding on your grief.

And when you fall — stand up once more,

Your heart still beats, don’t lose this war.

Maybe you’re tired of fighting on your own,

But even broken wings can still bring you home.

You are not the pain they buried in your soul,

Not the chains, not the darkness, not the hole.

’Cause scars turn gold and your story’s not done,

Every tear survived means another battle won.

You are more than all the hatred that they threw,

More than every lie that tried destroying you.

And when the world expects your light to fade,

Rise again — and show them you were never made to break.
