Rise from the Shadows

In the shadows, where the silence grips,

A heart beats heavy, feeling shattered slips.

But there's a light on the other side,

Hold on tight, it's a bumpy ride.

When the flashbacks come, and dreams turn gray,

You’re not alone, there’s a brighter way.

Find those faces that wrap you tight,

Life’s worth living, so hold on tight.

Keep a picture close, hold it in your hand,

Through the noise and chaos, take a stand.

Think of laughter, of innocence lost,

Beauty in memories, no matter the cost.

Keep fighting, keep screaming, let your voice be found,

In the darkness that whispers, stand your ground.

You’re a warrior, a story to tell,

With every step forward, break that spell.

PTSD's grip is a heavy cage,

Fight through the storms, erase the rage.

Crying is healing; let the tears flow,

Every drop counts, let your spirit grow.

Surround yourself with hope, with love, with care,

Don’t give the darkness more than a stare.

Reach out for hands that can lift you high,

You’re not just surviving, you’re learning to fly.

Keep fighting, keep screaming, let your voice be found,

In the darkness that whispers, stand your ground.

You’re a warrior, a story to tell,

With every step forward, break that spell.

And when it feels like the world’s too much,

Remember that pain, it won’t define your touch.

There’s strength in your scars, a fire in your eyes,

Rise from the ashes, watch your spirit rise.

Keep fighting, keep screaming, let your voice be found,

In the darkness that whispers, stand your ground.

You’re a warrior, a story to tell,

With every step forward, break that spell.

So scream your truth until it’s clear,

You’re a survivor, let them hear.

Standing tall, in the light you’ll grow,

Together we rise, together we flow.
