No more pain

Tiny fists clenched, tremblin' in the sheets,

Voices in my head, all scream, "Retreat!"

Crooked lullabies, cracked floor beneath,

Shadow of your rage, I can't find peace.

"Be a man," you said, while tears streamed down,

Armor on my back, but I still feel drowned.

Glass-shard lessons, scars I can't erase,

Childhood a battlefield, lost the warm embrace.

No more belts, no more fists, no more cries,

Stop the storms that twist under blood-red skies.

Just a kid searchin' for soft, tender eyes,

Say you love me—I’ll believe no lies.

Echo of the slap still hummin' in the hall,

Toy soldiers toppled, they’ve witnessed it all.

Tried to turn to smiles, turn pain into art,

But pencils snap under a fractured heart.

Gravel in my voice, but I whisper out clear,

"Why love feel wrapped in anger and fear?"

Every blow felt colder than winter's frost,

Each dream crushed by hands at a heavy cost.

No more belts, no more fists, no more cries,

The thunder's loud—I’m wishin' it dies.

Soul bruised, but I’m ready to rise,

Say you love me—I’ll believe no lies.

No more belts, no more fists, no more cries,

The thunder's loud—I’m wishin' it dies.

Soul bruised, but I’m ready to rise,

Say you love me—I’ll believe no lies.
