Breaking Free

Lost in a maze of silent screams

Trying to breathe, caught in his shadow beams

He sets the clock, but it spins too fast

Chained by rules of the past

Questions down, his voice a storm

Lost myself in the roaring norm

But I’m breaking free, I need to see

A little room to just be me

My kids deserve the sun, not rain

Time to rise above the pain

No more chains, no more blame

I’m stepping out, reclaim my name

He can question, he can shout

But I’ve already found the way out

His words cut deep, like shattering glass

I’ve endured the storm, now I’ll surpass

The way he treats my little ones

This isn’t love, it’s no fun

I’m shedding tears, out of fear

But I now see, I am near

A brighter dawn, a brand new start

Healing piece by piece my heart

No more chains, no more blame

I’m stepping out, reclaim my name

He can question, he can shout

But I’ve already found the way out

Rising from the shadows, I will stand tall

No longer silenced by it all

Freedom’s whisper calls my name

Turning back is not a game

Here I go, leaving the dark

Finding my own spark

My kids and I will be okay

Brand new life, a brighter day
