Shadows of the Past

Whispers in the dark, shadows creeping near

Fears I couldn't voice, trapped inside my tears

Childhood shattered, innocence betrayed

Silent screams echo, memories that stayed

Hidden behind closed doors, secrets kept in fear

Lost in the darkness, nothing seemed clear

Every night I prayed, for a dawn to break

Hoped the pain would fade, for my own sake

But the scars run deep, in my soul they stay

Trying to find my light, to find my way

Rising from the ashes of a shattered past

Breaking free from shadows that forever last

Healing little by little, step by step

Finding hope again, no more regret

Strength inside me grows, I won’t be confined

Reclaiming my voice, leaving pain behind

Though the wounds run deep, I’ll learn to forgive

A new beginning, a reason to live

Shining brighter now, I’ve found my truth

Standing tall, reclaiming my youth

Though the scars remain, I’ve learned to cope

Embracing life’s journey, holding on to hope
