Intro – whispered / soft]
Sometimes the loudest battles
are the ones nobody hears…
The ones behind the eyes.
⸻
[Verse 1]
Little girl with a storm in her chest
World on her shoulders, smile on her vest
They said “be strong,” so she never cried
Built her walls high, locked pain inside
Every memory knocking like thunder at night
Every scar whispering “you could bite”
Anger tasted sweet on the tip of her tongue
But she swallowed the fire — she was still so young
She learned how to breathe when the room felt small
Learned how to stand when she wanted to fall
People only saw a quiet child’s face
Never saw the wars she survived in place
⸻
[Hook / Chorus]
I’m standing on a line I can’t see
Dark on one side, light calling me
I hear a voice saying “stay with me”
When the shadows say “break free”
I could shatter, I could scream
I could turn into everything they made me believe
But something gentle keeps holding my sleeve
Saying “don’t let the hurt decide who you’ll be.”
⸻
[Verse 2]
She felt rage like a blade in her ribs
Every betrayal carved deep in the grids
Sometimes revenge looked easy and warm
Like stepping inside a familiar storm
But then a whisper softer than air
Said “you’re not the pain you wear”
Not thunder, not fire, not chains, not scars
You’re more than the darkness that named your stars
She’d close her eyes, hands in her lap
Begging the night not to make her snap
Fighting demons that looked like her past
Praying the good in her heart would last
⸻
[Bridge – slower / spiritual tone]
A quiet light in a crowded head
A gentle “child, you’re not misled”
Not screaming, not forcing, just simply near
A warmth saying “I’m here… I’m here.”
⸻
[Verse 3 – rising strength]
She didn’t win by becoming stone
She won by choosing not to be alone
Not alone in faith, not alone in breath
Choosing healing instead of death
Every day she stepped back from the edge
Not perfect, just making a silent pledge
“I won’t be what they tried to make
I am more than the hurt I take.”
⸻
[Final Hook / Outro]
I’m standing on a line I now see
Dark still calls, but light carries me
The voice that said “stay” set me free
Not from pain — but from letting it be me
I bend, I bruise, but I don’t break
I’m not the darkness I could’ve made
I am the child who chose to stay
And that choice… saved me.
