Chains I Built

In the shadows of my mind, I fight

Fading hope in the dead of night

Caught in a storm I can't escape

Waves of doubt, pain I can't fake

Every dawn feels colder, darker inside

A battle I can't win, no matter what I try

Voices whisper, tell me I’m better off lost

Chains I built myself, paying the heavy cost

But somewhere deep inside, I hear a faint cry

A flicker of a hope, but can’t tell if it’s a lie

Can I find the strength to break free?

Or am I doomed to drown myself in misery?

I’ve been living in the shadows of my fears

Drowning in the echoes of my tears

But maybe there's a light I can see

A chance to be someone better for me

Fighting through the chaos, the storm, the pain

Clinging to a dream I can't explain

Every scar, every doubt, a story I can't hide

But I want to find my truth and step inside

So I’ll hold on, even when I fall

Seeking the strength to answer the call

One day, I hope I’ll finally see

The person I’m meant to be
