Knives and Ashes

In the shadows where whispers fade,

Memories linger, a heavy serenade.

Each breath a battle, each scream unheard,

A heart full of pain, feeling so disturbed.

Life that hurt like knives in my chest,

Every glance, a storm, never found rest.

Pinned by the weight of all that I've faced,

Time moves slowly, but my world’s been erased.

Yet in this chaos, a flicker appears,

A hope barely shining through rivers of tears.

I’ll rise from the ashes, like a phoenix cries,

Transforming the sorrow, as the darkness flies.

Oh, life, you were a jagged edge,

Cutting deep, but I'm learning to shed,

All the scars are stories yet untold,

From the fire within, I will rise and be bold.

Shattered glass on a road untraveled,

Every question leaves me feeling baffled.

Yet, in this tempest, I’m finding my tome,

Words of resilience leading me home.

I look to the stars, though they flicker and fade,

In the silence, I hear the dreams we made.

Bound by the shadows, yet still I will fight,

Finding my way from the darkest of nights.

Oh, life, you were a jagged edge,

Cutting deep, but I'm learning to shed,

All the scars are stories yet untold,

From the fire within, I will rise and be bold.

Let the hurt linger, let it show me the way,

For every lost moment, I’ll seize a new day.

With each scar that I carry, I’m stronger still,

Turning pain into power, I know I will heal.

So here’s to the life that once hurt like knives,

A tapestry woven that now brightly thrives.

From the ashes of anguish, a heart redefined,

With wounds turned to wisdom, I'm truly aligned.
