Rising from Ashes

This is my truth, can you hear me now?

Fighting through whispers, I’m raising a vow.

When shadows linger in the night,

I’ll stand my ground, ready to fight.

You crafted tales like a weaver's loom,

Spun whispers of darkness, painted my room.

They don’t see the bruises you never have,

But the scars on my spirit show the tears I’ve grabbed.

Every lie that you’ve told cuts deeper than a knife,

You twisted my truth, tried to shadow my life.

I’m rising from ashes you left behind,

No more chains, I’m breaking free, it’s my time.

I won't be your victim, I’ll stand tall and fight,

You’ve thrown all your stones, but I’m shining bright.

This tale is not yours, it’s mine to tell,

I won’t let your shadows drag me to hell.

I hear the voices, they’ve come from the past,

But I'm claiming my story, making it last.

You might burn bridges but I’m building my way,

To the light, to the truth, find a better day.

You painted me guilty, now I'm the outcast,

But there's power in truth, it’s a spell I’ve cast.

Through the echoes of rooms where you played your charade,

I’ll gather my strength, and I won’t be swayed.

You tried to erase me, defined by your lies,

But I’m rising above, cutting through your disguise.

This heart that you scheme to keep under your control,

Is fighting for freedom, reclaiming my soul.

I won't be your victim, I’ll stand tall and fight,

You’ve thrown all your stones, but I’m shining bright.

This tale is not yours, it’s mine to tell,

I won’t let your shadows drag me to hell.

So hear me now, I’ve found my voice,

In the noise of betrayal, I’ve made my choice.

With every heartbeat, I’ll rise, I’ll stand,

No longer your puppet, I’m taking command.
