Breaking the Silence

Staring at the sky, wondering where to turn,

Each breath a battle, with every scar I earned.

Silent screams echo in the empty room,

Searching for the light, fighting off the gloom.

Every day was heavy, shadows in my mind,

Wondering if freedom was a dream I’d find.

Came home from work, the world felt so wrong,

She waited like a storm, a dark cloud where I belong.

Courage was a whisper, buried deep inside,

But the truth was rising, couldn’t run or hide.

So I’m breaking the silence, tearing down the walls,

Rising from the ashes, hear my battle calls.

I’m not just a shadow, not a face in the crowd,

With every step I take, I’ll stand tall and proud.

With every word she spoke, painted pain with her lies,

A mother’s love twisted, a heart full of ice.

Said I was afraid; told her of my fears,

But now I’m standing stronger, releasing all those tears.

Taught myself to breathe, to fight through the night,

A warrior’s heart ignited, ready for the fight.

So I’m breaking the silence, tearing down the walls,

Rising from the ashes, hear my battle calls.

I’m not just a shadow, not a face in the crowd,

With every step I take, I’ll stand tall and proud.

Life’s a journey onward, every day I grow,

Embracing the beauty, I’m letting go of woe.

Finding strength in my story, a fire in my soul,

Each moment of recovery, I’m reclaiming control.

So I’m breaking the silence, tearing down the walls,

Rising from the ashes, hear my battle calls.

I’m not just a shadow, not a face in the crowd,

With every step I take, I’ll stand tall and proud.

Thankful for the struggle that led me to this place,

Rising like a phoenix, I won’t lose my grace.

Scars are just reminders of a strength that won’t fade,

I’m free, I’m alive, in my truth unafraid.
