Reclaiming My Choice

In the shadows of my mind, echoes of the past,

Drowning in the choices that were made so fast.

Sitting at the table, face to face with despair,

Wondering if I sold my soul, unaware.

Memories like ghosts, haunting every night,

Each step that I took, led me further from the light.

Regret's a heavy burden, it’s hard to let it go,

But I’m tired of living in a world of ‘what ifs’ and ‘no shows’.

I look in the mirror, see a face worn and tired,

Just a prisoner to dreams that my heart once inspired.

But now I’m breaking chains, it’s time to reclaim,

The pieces of me, it’s no more a game.

So I’ll rise from the ashes, like a phoenix from the fire,

Taking back my life, reclaiming my desire.

These deals are off the table, this soul’s too strong to sell,

I’ve got to get my shit together, I’m rising from this hell.

I’ve let the demons win, but they’re fighting me no more,

I’ll face the future boldly, like a warrior to war.

The past may be my shadow, but I won’t let it consume,

I’m crafting my tomorrow, breaking free from all this gloom.

Every scar a lesson, every tear a guide,

Gonna face the sunset, with my heart open wide.

The devil’s lost his table; I’ve got new cards to play,

Turning back the clock, but in a brand new way.

So I’ll rise from the ashes, like a phoenix from the fire,

Taking back my life, reclaiming my desire.

These deals are off the table, this soul’s too strong to sell,

I’ve got to get my shit together, I’m rising from this hell.

The moments that I wasted, the chances that I’d missed,

Will fuel the fire now; they're the stories on my list.

So here’s my declaration, I’ll take the stars above,

With every ounce of courage, I'll rediscover love.

So kiss my past goodbye, I’ll wear it like a crown,

I’m building up my future; I won't let myself down.

The past may whisper softly, but I’ve got a louder voice,

It’s now or never, baby, I’m reclaiming my choice.
