Walking into 2024

Walking into a new year, shadows from the past follow dear

Trying to find some peace, in a world that's unclear

Born from the silence, raised in the shadows’ grip

Fighting through the darkness, trying not to slip

A plea for redemption, a heart torn apart

Seeking a second chance, a brand new start

They see a monster, but I know there's a man inside

Battling the echoes of the fears I can't hide

Guilty feelings weigh me down, scars that won't fade

Trying to rebuild, but still afraid

Walk with me into 2024, leave behind the pain and shame

Carry hope and love, erase the blame

One step at a time, breaking free from the past

Hoping this road will be at last last

Victim of the silence, trapped in my own mind

Dreaming of redemption, I hope I’ll find

The courage to stand tall, to overcome the fight

To fix what’s broken, to find the light

They see a monster, but I know there's a man inside

Battling the echoes of the fears I can't hide

Guilty feelings weigh me down, scars that won't fade

Trying to rebuild, but still afraid

Walk with me into 2024, leave behind the pain and shame

Carry hope and love, erase the blame

One step at a time, breaking free from the past

Hoping this road will be at last last

No more hiding in the shadows, no more running away

Seeking forgiveness, for a better day

The journey is long, but I won’t give in

Facing my reflection, trying to begin again

So walk with me into a new dawn, open hearts and minds

Leaving the darkness, leaving behind

A man trying to heal, trying to be whole

One day at a time, a brand new soul
