Rise From the Shadows

*(Verse 1)*

In a darkened room, where the silence screams,

At just fifteen years, my life shattered at the seams.

Mother turned her back, blind to the cruel betrayal,

Left me with a predator, lost in a stormy gale.

Though my heart’s a warrior, the world feels so cold,

I had to dig deep to uncover the strength untold.

*(Chorus)*

I’m rising from the ashes, breaking every chain,

Wrestling with the shadows, I’m done with the pain.

Family torn apart, but I’ve forged my own way,

I’ll be my own savior, come what may.

*(Verse 2)*

The streets became my refuge, with battles to wage,

Survival’s a relentless fight, trapped in a cage.

Nights filled with hunger, days haunted by fear,

But I’m carving my destiny, while the darkness draws near.

At eighteen, I cradled my daughter, love fierce and bright,

Vowed to shield her fiercely from the world’s cruel bite.

*(Chorus)*

I’m rising from the ashes, breaking every chain,

Wrestling with the shadows, I’m done with the pain.

Family torn apart, but I’ve forged my own way,

I’ll be my own savior, come what may.

*(Bridge)*

No more tears for the love that slipped through my hands,

I’ll carry my heart, no matter the demands.

Single yet strong, I’ll weather any storm,

For my little girl, I’ll keep her safe and warm.

*(Verse 3)*

Though shadows may linger, I’ll stand firm and proud,

With every step taken, I’ll shout it aloud.

From the ashes of anguish, I’ve risen anew,

With love as my armor, I’ll fight for what’s true.

*(Chorus)*

I’m rising from the ashes, breaking every chain,

Wrestling with the shadows, I’m done with the pain.

Family torn apart, but I’ve forged my own way,

I’ll be my own savior, come what may.

*(Outro)*

So here’s to the warriors, the ones who endure,

With scars that tell stories, we learn to be sure.

I’ll stand for my daughter, I’ll light up the night,

In a world filled with shadows, I’ll fight for the light.
