Burning Bright: A Survivor's Song

Silent shadows, heavy hearts, buried deep inside

Lost in the echoes of a past they try to hide

Burning inside, facing the fire, forging my own way

Rising from the ashes, brighter every day

Whispers in the darkness, nobody could see

A little girl crying out, desperate to be free

Hands that betrayed, trust betrayed, scars that hide beneath

But I hold my own truth, a fire I refuse to leave

No more silence, no more tears, I’m breaking through the night

From the ruins of my childhood, I find my light

Stronger now, I wear my scars like armor, fierce and free

This is my story, this is my victory

Survived the fire, rose higher than before

Shedding the pain, I’m stronger than ever, I swear

Facing the darkness, I found my own way

A warrior woman, lighting up the day

No one listened then, but I will be heard

Shouting my freedom, every silent word

Healing the wounds, rewriting my fate

Turned pain into power, I won’t be baited

Silent shadows no more, I walk into the sun

A survivor’s song, my true beginning has begun

From the ashes, I soar, finally free

Stronger, wiser, fully me
