Shadows of My Past

Shadows linger in the corners of my mind,

Echoes of a past I can't leave behind.

Secrets buried, pain I can't unsee,

Lost in the depths of what used to be.

Childhood lost in storms I couldn't tame,

Broken shadows whispering my name.

Little hearts bearing heavy scars,

Battles fought behind closed bars.

Every wound a story, a silent scream,

Haunted by the remnants of a shattered dream.

Looking for a light to break the night,

Yearning for healing, for what's right.

Break through the darkness, find the dawn,

Heal these wounds until they're gone.

From shattered days to hopeful nights,

Rebuild my soul, and reach new heights.

Adult shadows cast the same old pain,

Running from what I can't explain.

Fighting demons from the past,

Trying to find a peace at last.

Every scar's a story, a silent plea,

Longing for release, to be free.

Holding on, trying to let go,

Searching for a strength I used to know.

Break through the darkness, find the dawn,

Heal these wounds until they're gone.

From shattered days to hopeful nights,

Rebuild my soul, and reach new heights.

It's a journey through the storm within,

Facing fears of what has been.

But I won't let the pain define,

A future brighter, now I shine.

Shadows fade as I find my way,

Healing slowly day by day.

Child and adult, I reclaim my story,

Turning pain into my glory.
