Echoes of a Troubled Childhood

In the quiet nights we’d hear the storm,

Shadows dancing, hearts felt torn,

Memories linger like a faded song,

But my siblings kept me strong.

Down the hall, the echoes call,

Walls would shake, I’d brace for the fall,

Air felt heavy, silence screamed,

Living in the ruins of broken dreams.

But in the chaos, hands reached out,

Through the darkness, my heart would shout,

They’d wipe my tears, tell me to believe,

Together we’d rise, though we'd grieve.

Now they’re packing, leaving for the stars,

Off to chase dreams, while I hold the scars,

Bittersweet moment, proud but so sad,

Lost in the memories of a childhood I had.

Fourteen years of laughter and tears,

Sister’s smile, brother calmed my fears,

Through every fight, through every night,

They’d hold me close, make the dark feel right.

But now the house is feeling cold,

They’ve grown wings, they’ve grown bold,

Of all the lessons, they taught me the best,

Love’s the treasure, through all the unrest.

Now they’re packing, leaving for the stars,

Off to chase dreams, while I hold the scars,

Bittersweet moment, proud but so sad,

Lost in the memories of a childhood I had.

And when they go, I’ll stand on my own,

Building bridges from seeds they’ve sown,

I’ll carry their laughter, I’ll carry their light,

Through the shadows, I’ll still fight.

So here’s to the nights, the battles we faced,

In each other’s hearts, we’ve found our place,

Though they fly away, they’ll forever stay,

In the memories that will never fray.
