RISE

I wake up in a war, mind heavy like the sky's fallin’

Smile on my face but inside, I’m stallin’

Bipolar swings, one minute I’m flyin’

Next I’m in the dark, straight up silent and cryin’

They say, “you’re strong,” but they don’t see the cost

The highs burn bright, then I’m frozen and lost

Tryna fake normal, I mastered the act

But it’s hard when your brain keeps stabbin' your back

I don’t want pity, I just want peace

But peace feels like a ghost that don’t ever speak

Some days I’m loud, some days I retreat

But I’m still on my feet ain’t no quit in me

This is my fight, this is my flame

I ain’t defined by the scars or the shame

Yeah, I break down, but I rise up again

Battle in my mind, but I still remain

Torn but alive, broken but bold

Heart full of fire in a world so cold

I’m not my disorder, I’m more than the pain

I bend, I bleed, but I stay in the game

People see the mask, not the war behind my eyes

Actin’ like they know me, but they only see disguise

Tried to open up, they just whispered and judged

Turned my pain into silence, and my soul never budged

Every “are you okay?” felt like routine

Like they ain’t wanna know what my darkness means

So I turned to the pen, let the page be my friend

Put my truth in the beat, let the healing begin

Music don’t lie, it listens and bleeds

Like it knows every crack that I try to keep neat

I spit bars ‘cause I need to survive

Turnin’ trauma to rhythm just to feel alive

Yeah, the nights get cold, but the mic stays warm

When the world don’t get me, I create my own storm

This is my fight, this is my flame

I ain’t defined by the scars or the shame

Yeah, I break down, but I rise up again

Battle in my mind, but I still remain

Torn but alive, broken but bold

Heart full of fire in a world so cold

I’m not my disorder, I’m more than the pain

I bend, I bleed, but I stay in the game

I’ve been to the edge, heard silence scream

Drowned in the noise of a shattered dream

But even when my light felt stolen and dim

I found the fight still burnin’ within

Not every hero wears gold or a cape

Some just survive with the strength it takes

To wake up again, face the same pain

And still whisper, “Nah, I’m not done today”

This is my fight, this is my flame

I’m more than the scars, more than the pain

I rise, I fall but I still remain

The fire I light won’t ever fade
