Rising from the Shadows

Silent cries echo through my room,

Whispers of sorrow, lingering gloom.

Here I stand, lost in the night,

Fighting shadows, avoiding the light.

Each dawn breaks like shattered glass,

Waking dreams of how long this will last.

With every heartbeat, I feel the weight,

A heavy burden that I can't shake.

Voices inside, they won’t let me be,

Reminding me of what I can’t see.

I reach out for hope, but it slips away,

And the silence screams louder each day.

I want to fly, but my wings are tied,

Drowning deep in the tears I’ve cried.

When the world feels like a lonely shore,

I carry the pain, can’t take it anymore.

Every smile feels like a heavy mask,

Hiding the questions I dare not ask.

In a crowd, I still feel the chill,

Like nobody sees, nobody will.

I’m reaching for light, but darkness descends,

What was a battle, now feels like the end.

I’m locking my doors, but they’re never closed,

Just waiting for someone to pull me from this pose.

I want to fly, but my wings are tied,

Drowning deep in the tears I’ve cried.

When the world feels like a lonely shore,

I carry the pain, can’t take it anymore.

But what if tomorrow brings something new?

A glimmer of light breaking through the blue.

I’ll hold on tight, though the night is long,

Finding my strength in this song.

I want to fly, let my spirit soar,

Rise from the ashes and fight for more.

When the world feels heavy, I’ll stand tall,

For every dark night, there’s a hope after all.

So I breathe in deep, I’ll take one more step,

Turning the pain into something you can’t rep.

I’m learning to stand, I won’t let it break me,

In the silence, I’m rising — I will be free.
