Nineteen Shadows

Fading echoes in my mind, shadows I can't leave behind

Walking alone through the night, searching for a little light

Nineteen candles, burning low, lost in a world I don't know

Trust is fragile, like glass it breaks, every word that my heart remakes

Used to have friends in my past, now memories just fade too fast

Love feels like a battlefield, scars that I can't heal

Waves of doubt crashing in

Fighting demons deep within

Can’t tell who’s real or just pretend

Trying to hold on, trying to mend

Broken at nineteen, shattered inside

Carrying hurts I try to hide

Trust is a stranger I can't hold on

Lost friendships, love gone wrong

Nineteen and fragile, fighting to survive

In a world that's cold, I strive to stay alive

Mirror shows a tired face, haunted by every mistake I chase

Love's illusions, trust betrayed, a foundation that's dismayed

Walking through my mental maze, trapped in a lonely haze

Friends turned distant shadows, hearts that no longer glow

Waves of doubt crashing in

Fighting demons deep within

Can’t tell who’s real or just pretend

Trying to hold on, trying to mend

Broken at nineteen, shattered inside

Carrying hurts I try to hide

Trust is a stranger I can't hold on

Lost friendships, love gone wrong

Nineteen and fragile, fighting to survive

In a world that's cold, I strive to stay alive

Maybe someday I’ll find my way

Through the darkness, break away

Heal these wounds, rebuild my trust

Learn to love, release the dust

Nineteen years of pain and hope

A journey wide, a scope

One day I will stand tall again

Beyond the hurt, beyond the pain
