Silent cries

Silent cries in the dark, no one hears a thing

Shadows creeping, memories sting

Seven years old, just a tiny soul

Caught in a storm, losing control

Whispers in my mind, tell me to hide

A secret darkness I can't abide

Held in silence, fear so deep

Silent screams I can't quite speak

Broken pieces, scattered and raw

Trying to find what I never saw

Rise above the pain, break free from the chain

No more shame, no more blame

Heal the wounds that cut so deep

Learn to live, learn to breathe

At ten, I found my voice, a spark inside

But the world’s cold gaze, a cruel tide

Doctor’s words, lawyer’s glare

Made me feel that I was rare

Battered by the shame, buried in despair

Lost in a maze of pain and care

But I’m stronger now, I will fight

Turn the darkness into light

Rise above the pain, break free from the chain

No more shame, no more blame

Heal the wounds that cut so deep

Learn to live, learn to breathe

This is my story, my fight, my truth

Turning pain into proof

Standing tall, I reclaim my sky

Wings of hope now fly high

No longer silent, I shout aloud

Breaking through, unbowed

From shadows, I now ascend

This is my beginning, my end.
