Raging Shadows

Fists clenched tight, heart full of fire,

Memories haunt like a ghostly choir.

Left behind in the dust, I bide my time,

With every rule I break, I step out of line.

Broken promises, echoes in the night,

A father’s words, just a shadow in my sight.

Raised by the ashes, I learned to survive,

In a world filled with lies, it’s hard to feel alive.

The bottle whispers sweet, but it cuts me deep,

Dance with demons when I should be asleep.

Tearing at my soul, I’m fighting to break free,

But the chains of the past are still binding me.

I’m raging like a storm, can’t keep me confined,

An anger that’s a fire, it’s a beast I can’t unwind.

With every scar I carry, I won’t hide away,

In this battle for my life, I’ll find a better way.

So I scream to the heavens, hear my anguished cry,

As the shadows of my past try to tear me down and fry.

But I stand, I resist, through the heartache and the pain,

I’ll pave my own way through the sunlight and the rain.

Got a short fuse, yeah, tempers tend to flare,

Disrespect me once, I’ll show you I don’t care.

Fueled by the anger, built from betrayal’s sting,

Can’t drown in vices when I yearn for something.

The whiskey's my ally, but it steals my soul,

Need to cut the ties that keep me in this hole.

I'm fighting for redemption, but it’s hard to see the light,

When rage is my shadow and I’m ready for a fight.

I’m raging like a storm, can’t keep me confined,

An anger that’s a fire, it’s a beast I can’t unwind.

With every scar I carry, I won’t hide away,

In this battle for my life, I’ll find a better way.

So I’ll scream my truths into the night,

Fueled by the pain, ready to ignite.

I’ll rise from the ashes, no longer alone,

In the fury, I find my strength; I’m reclaiming my throne.
