Breaking Through the Shadows

Silent shadows, scars unseen

Whispers of a nightmare's scream

Standing tall, though I bleed

Breaking free from what I heed

Once confined within icy chains

Forced outside in bitter rains

Rods and pain, memories remain

A life trapped in bitter pain

They told me what to feel, how to kneel

But I refuse to conceal how I heal

No more control, I take my stand

Reclaim my soul, reclaim my land

This is my fight, my release

Breaking free, finding peace

The scars may fade but I survive

Strength in me comes alive

Physical marks may dull but stay

Emotional scars won’t fade away

Living in shadows, silent fear

But I’m rising past the tears

They told me what to feel, how to kneel

But I refuse to conceal how I heal

No more control, I take my stand

Reclaim my soul, reclaim my land

This is my fight, my release

Breaking free, finding peace

The scars may fade but I survive

Strength in me comes alive

No more asking, no more bonds

I’m reborn in dawn's new songs

Pain won't define my story

I reclaim my glory

Standing tall, scars shining bright

I’ve found my strength, my light

Freedom’s call, I answer loud

I am proud, unbowed
