Titanium Shell of Hope

Breaking free, from the shadow of fear

Finding courage in the light, shining clear

Once I was caged in a shell of pain

Afraid to love, to breathe, to feel again

Lost in the dark, where echoes dwell

But a gentle hand broke the spell

She saw beyond the scars, the tears

Lifted me up, calmed all my fears

With love like a flame, she ignited inside

A spark of hope I couldn’t hide

Now I wear a shell of titanium gold

Braver and stronger, a story told

No more tarnish, no more rust

From ashes to hope, in her I trust

Faced my demons, even Lucifer’s face

Battled my pain, found my rightful place

Her love rebuilt what was torn apart

Gave me a new shell, a beating heart

I admit I’m scared, but I stand tall

No longer hiding behind the wall

With courage and hope, I face the day

With her love guiding the way

Now I wear a shell of titanium gold

Braver and stronger, a story told

No more tarnish, no more rust

From ashes to hope, in her I trust

Reflections of darkness, now turned to light

A survivor’s voice in the silent night

From hell to heaven, I’ve found my wings

A new beginning, the freedom it sings

Turtle no more, I’m free to soar

Love and hope, my forevermore

Thank you for the shell that set me free

Now I live, I love, I believe
