Shadows in the Mind

Shadows lurking, voices cry, echoes of the night, I can't deny

Battles fought within my mind, scars I hide, I’ve survived

Silent scream, buried deep, haunted by the memories I keep

Steel resolve, broken stance, fighting shadows, no chance

Nightmare storms, I’ve seen the rain, loss and pain I can’t explain

Rising from the ashes of my past, still I stand, will I last?

Caught in the crossfire, war inside my head

Fighting the fire, trying to forget

This war won't fade, scars won’t heal

Deep in my soul, what is real?

PTSD’s thunder, shaking my core

Waves of torment, I can’t ignore

Fighting my demons, locked in this fight

Heavy is the burden, darkening my night

Break these chains, scream out loud, purge the pain, stand unbowed

Echoes loud, through the night, I will rise, win this fight

Shadows fading, dawn is near, new day rising, conquer fear

In the storm, I will find my way, strength inside to face each day
