Shadows and Light

[Intro]
Lost in the shadows, trying to find my light
Healing from the darkness that haunted my nights

[Verse 1]
Walking through a world that’s unfamiliar now
Faces that don’t really see me somehow
They say they wanna help but they push and they shove
Turns out they’re shadows instead of love

[Pre-Chorus]
I thought I knew what trust was supposed to be
But every step is a battlefield for me
Trying to let go of the pain, release the pain
But your words are like rain, driving me insane

[Chorus]
This is a song for the ones who push and pull
For the silent screams that go unheard
Trying to heal, trying to withstand
While the world keeps shaking my hand

[Bridge]
Fighting the monsters inside my mind
Peace feels distant, hard to find
But I won’t let your echo define
My future, my survival, my sign

[Outro]
I’m rising above, I’m breaking free
From the chains you tried to put on me
Healing's a journey, slow but true
This is my fight, my breakthrough

Emotional acoustic ballad with gentle guitar and subtle percussion, introspective mood
