Aging

(Verse 1)

Let me speak the truth, a story unfolds,

A young soul's journey, as life takes its tolls.

At 17, she read her bible, seeking higher ground,

At 17, she smiled, with joy all around.

At 17, she had a plan, a future so bright,

At 17, she danced, filled with pure delight.

At 17, she had friends, a circle so true,

At 17, she was happy, in all that she'd do.

(Pre-Chorus)

But hold up, the beat switches, the vibe ain't the same,

The innocence fades, replaced by the pain.

From dreams to darkness, a rapid descent,

A tale of struggle, a life heaven-sent.

(Verse 2)

At 18, she said naughty words, a rebel's outcry,

At 18, she took tequila shots, reaching for the sky.

At 18, she cut her wrist, a cry for release,

At 18, she didn't eat, finding no inner peace.

At 18, she cried herself to sleep, tears soaking the bed,

At 18, she was so angry, with thoughts in her head.

(Verse 3)

At 19, she's so fucking lonely, lost in the haze,

At 19, she's lost, wandering through a maze.

At 19, she's smoking, breaking promises made,

At 19, she has cold eyes, hope starts to fade.

At 19, she's losing hope, the light grows dim,

At 19, she's numb inside, a broken hymn.

(Pre-Chorus)

This ain't just a rap, it's a mirror's reflection,

Of struggles faced, in youthful imperfection.

(Verse 4)

At 20, she's fighting, a battle within,

At 20, she's searching, for where to begin.

At 20, she's trying to heal, from wounds that cut deep,

At 20, she's learning to breathe, secrets she keeps.

At 20, she's finding her voice, a whisper at first,

At 20, she's reclaiming her power, quenching the thirst.

(Outro)

let this story echo, a reminder so clear,

That even in darkness, hope can appear.

Reach out, connect, let empathy guide,

For every soul lost, there's a chance to confide.

At 20, she's rising, though scarred and though shaken,

A testament to strength, a spirit awaken.

This ain't the end, it's a new chapter's start,

A journey of healing, mending the heart.
