Shame

They wrote my name in a story that I never told,
Painted me guilty in a shade so cold.
Every word felt like a weight on my chest,
Truth in my hands but they buried the rest.
I stood there trying just to speak my side,
But rumors run faster than truth can ride.
Now the road feels longer than it did before,
Every mile asking what I’m fighting for.
I’m tired of shadows chasing my name,
Tired of carrying someone else’s blame.
You lit the fire and walked away,
Left me standing in the smoke and shame.
But I won’t break, I won’t disappear,
Even when the silence is all I hear.
Truth’s still burning in my chest tonight,
And one day it’s gonna see the light.
Every door feels heavier to push through now,
Every whisper louder than it should allow.
But scars don’t mean that the story ends,
Sometimes they’re proof you stood your ground again.
So I’ll keep walking even through the storm,
Even when the cold starts feeling warm.
You tried to bury me under the lies,
But I’m still breathing, still gonna rise.
