Rising from the Ashes

Shadows creeping, echoing inside

Lost in the darkness, nowhere to hide

Falling through the silence, hitting the ground

Butterflies of heartbreak, lost, not found

Every tear I’ve shed, a river wide

Searching for a meaning, trying to survive

Hold on to the flicker, in the night so cold

Fighting through the shadows, seeking soul to hold

I’m broken but still breathing, fighting all my fears

Rising from the ashes, drying every tear

Faintly I see the light, cutting through the pain

Healing slowly, learning to love again

Empty streets surround me, I walk alone

Battling the darkness, carving out my stone

It’s a slow recovery, a Kilometre at a time

Turning scars to lessons, making reason rhyme

Hold on to the flicker, in the night so cold

Fighting through the shadows, seeking soul to hold

I’m broken but still breathing, fighting all my fears

Rising from the ashes, drying every tear

Faintly I see the light, cutting through the pain

Healing slowly, learning to love again

Whispers of hope, call me from the dark

Piece by piece, I’m mending my heart’s fractured part

Let the wounds tell stories, not define my sky

With every broken piece, I learn to fly

So here I stand, battered but alive

Finding my way, beginning to thrive

The pain’s a chapter, I’ll write my own song

Stronger than ever, where I belong
