Battling Shadows for a Light

In the shadows of the city,

Where the memories won’t go,

Every heartbeat feels so heavy,

But here I am, trying to show.

Walking through this crowded space,

The anxious whispers in my head,

Faces blur, it’s a dangerous place,

Reliving things I wish were dead.

Oh Lord, I’m kneeling, begging,

For strength to move through this fight,

Holding tight to dreams so far,

In the flicker of a phone’s light.

Here I stand, fragile and torn,

In a world that feels so cold,

But your photo is my armor,

A beacon when the nights unfold.

Every step feels like a battle,

With ghosts of the past in sight,

But your smile, it’s my saddle,

Riding on into the night.

Oh Lord, I’m kneeling, begging,

To find the peace in my soul,

With every flashback that comes near,

I fight to take back control.

Here I stand, fragile and torn,

In a world that feels so cold,

But your photo is my armor,

A beacon when the nights unfold.

Why did I have to wander,

Through corridors of fear and doubt?

Yet in your gaze, I find my thunder,

You’re my strength, you’re what I’m about.

Here I stand, fragile and torn,

In a world that feels so cold,

But your photo is my armor,

A beacon when the nights unfold.

So I’ll fight through shadows and plight,

With your love to guide the way,

Holding visions of tomorrow,

I’ll be alright, come what may.
