Doorways and Shadows

Whispers in the dark, shadows stretched too far

Questions in my mind, where do I start?

Walking on a wire, nobody to catch me now

Fighting with my stepdad, silent screams in the house

Every word's a battle, trying to find my peace

Lost inside my thoughts, my heart’s diseased

Should I run or face it? Do I tear down the wall?

Chasing after love that feels so small

Echoes of my mind, torn and undefined

Searching for a sign, to ease this troubled mind

Wish I could go home, where I belong

Hold on to hope, stay strong in the storm

My boyfriend’s gentle voice, a beacon in the night

But doubts keep creeping, fueling internal fights

Mom's words cut deep, shadows in my head

Telling me stories I can't believe

Close the door behind, but I want it open wide

Yearn for the truth I’ve tried to hide

Echoes of my mind, torn and undefined

Searching for a sign, to ease this troubled mind

Wish I could go home, where I belong

Hold on to hope, stay strong in the storm

Maybe there's a way through, beyond these fears

Finding strength to wipe away the tears

Bridging scars and dreams, healing in time

Breaking down the walls that confine

Someday I’ll find my peace, in the eye of the storm

Till then I keep searching, keep holding on

Close to my heart, the love I know is true

Waiting for the day I can start anew
