Bloodline Shadows

Standing at the edge of shadows, heart heavy but hopeful

Questions in my mind, truths that feel so hopeless

Looking in the mirror, trying to find my soul

Balancing the guilt and love, trying to stay whole

Fatherhood hit me like a storm out of nowhere

A new life, a new fight, a burden I swear

Wasn’t prepared for, yet here I stand, aware

Of the scars from past, they whisper in the air

Caught between what was and what could be

A silent cry from a child I never saw, yet I see

Reflecting in my eyes, a guilt that’s heavy

Could I be the man who walks away, unsteady?

But love is complex, it’s not black and white

It’s forgiving myself for the wrongs in the night

Not blaming her, just trying to make it right

Protection in my words, a vow to the fight

I’m torn between the past and what I gotta do

Facing fears I never thought I’d go through

Holding love for the fam that’s still true

Choosing strength over the doubt that grew

I don’t wanna be a ghost in my own bloodline

Lost in the silence, shadows of what’s mine

If there’s a child out there I never knew, I gotta find

Healing the wounds, breaking the confines

Questions in my mind, keep me wide awake

Did I turn my back, or was it heartbreak?

Can’t escape the weight, the possibilities

Of a life unknown, of silent responsibilities

Forgiveness is a journey, not a destination

Learning to live with this silent revelation

Every tear, every scar, a part of my story

Turning pain into power, reclaiming my glory

To the child I may never hold, I send my love

A prayer in the dark, crying to the heavens above

To be a man who protects, who provides, who cares

Breaking free from the shadows, shedding the layers of fears

It’s about choosing love, embracing what’s real

Facing all the doubts, I’ve got to heal

Strength in my heart, hope I can feel

Building a legacy that’s genuine and sealed

I don’t wanna be a ghost in my own bloodline

Lost in the silence, shadows of what’s mine

If there’s a child out there I never knew, I gotta find

Healing the wounds, breaking the confines

Time moves forward, but I stand grounded

Resolving to be the man unounded

No blame, just love unconfounded

Moving past the fear, now it’s resounded

In my soul, in my deed

Planting seeds of hope, sowing love’s creed

Whatever’s true, I’ll take the lead

Victim of the past, now I’m freed

Grounded in strength, refuse to react

Moving with purpose, no turning back

Redemption in my heart, I stay on track

For my family’s future, I got their back
