Blades and Shadows

Verse 1

Teenage me, lost inside,

A storm I couldn’t show, nowhere to hide.

A blade became my secret friend,

A fleeting peace that never seemed to end.

I learned the lines, where to go,

The pain to feel, but not to show.

Months I lived in quiet despair,

Hoping someone would even care.

Chorus

I carved my pain, but no one knew,

A secret world I couldn’t undo.

Shadows of me, hidden away,

I survived the night, lived another day.

They called me crazy, said I was unsafe,

But all I wanted was a little space.

Verse 2

She found the truth, didn’t understand,

Said I was broken, a danger at hand.

Locked in judgment, cornered in shame,

Dragged to a place that didn’t know my name.

I wasn’t safe, they didn’t see,

The only way to cope, to be free.

A silent scream, a fight inside,

A teenage world where I had to hide.

Chorus

I carved my pain, but no one knew,

A secret world I couldn’t undo.

Shadows of me, hidden away,

I survived the night, lived another day.

They called me crazy, said I was unsafe,

But all I wanted was a little space.

Bridge

I’m not my mistakes, I’m not my pain,

I’m the storm that danced through the rain.

Every scar a story they’ll never see,

Every cut a lesson in survival for me.

Final Chorus

I carved my pain, but now I’m here,

The shadows fading, the path is clear.

Teenage me, I see you still,

You fought the dark, you found your will.

They didn’t understand, but I survived,

And every scar is proof I’m alive.

Outro

Blades and shadows, a memory I bear,

A teenage storm, but I’m still here.
