Shadows

[Intro]
Silent shadows, hidden scars,
Whispers echo from afar,
Lost in darkness, haunted mind,
Seeking truth that I can't find.

[Verse 1]
I was a shadow in my own skin,
Locked out, locked in, shadows deep within,
Whispers in the dark, silent screams,
Louder than the words I never mean.
He whispered, "Come closer ," let me see.
Should've run away, but fear took me.
He Sneaked in the darkness, while I was asleep, Broke my trust left my soul to weep.

[Pre-Chorus]
Doctors' eyes and lawyers’ grin,
Painted guilt where none should have been,
Shattered mirrors, made me small,
Taught me to hush, hide it all.

[Chorus]
Carrying shame like a tattooed stain,
Telling my heart to never complain,
Built walls high to silence pain,
Stood my ground, found my voice again.

[Bridge]
Made the choice to rise above,
Healed my scars with strength and love,
Stronger than the storm, won't fall apart,
Breaking free, mending my heart.

[Outro]
Now I stand tall, shadows behind,
Reclaiming my soul, peace I find,
Healing every scar, shining bright,
I am the dawn, emerging into light.
