Prompt / Lyrics
“I Was There – A Voice That Survived” I was there. I remember. I walked into it, not knowing— and I came out carrying everything. I was there. I remember. Following love, following life— into something I did not understand. They watched. They followed. I felt it growing— a shadow behind every step. I was there. I remember. The fear said: you will not survive. But I am still here. ⸻ I tried to leave. I tried to go home. Back to Fredrikstad, back to roots— but my mind was breaking. Say it with me: It was not my fault. Say it again: It was not my choice. I was caught in it. Lost in it. Fighting something I could not see. ⸻ Voices, systems, networks, noise— too much, too fast, too real. A world collapsing inside me, while the outside stood still. Pandemic silence— but inside: chaos. Time stretched— seconds felt like years. I was there. I remember. ⸻ They hurt me. Body and mind. No safety, no rest, no ground to stand on. Say it with me: I deserved to live. Say it again: I deserved to be safe. ⸻ I fell. Again and again. Hospitals, walls, systems— but still no peace. My body breaking. My liver failing. My head struck— but I kept breathing. Because something in me said: Stay. ⸻ Then something changed. A moment. A signal. A way back. I reached out. I called for help. And slowly— something answered. Machines. Systems. A path through the noise. I was still here. ⸻ Say it with me: I am still here. Louder: I am still here. ⸻ I faced it. I spoke up. I said: This happened. I said: This was real to me. And they listened— or they started to. ⸻ Now I stand. Marked, but standing. Changed, but alive. This is my voice. This is my story. Not silence— but sound. ⸻ Say it with me: I survived. Again: I survived. And I will speak. And I will stand. And I will tell it— again and again and again.
