Rising from the Shadows

Walking through shadows, trying to find the light

Every step forward, battling the night

Healing's a journey, often slow

Breaking the silence, letting hope grow

Years of pain buried deep inside

Fighting fears that I can't hide

A survivor rising from ashes cold

Stories of strength, finally told

Every scar, every tear, a part of my story

Learning to love myself in faded glory

It's heavy, the weight I carry, but I am here

Facing the world, shedding the fear

I'm doing better, step by step

Rebuilding pieces I once kept

Though setbacks try to pull me down

I'm reaching up, I won't drown

Immersion in the crowd, loud and bright

Training my heart to embrace the fight

Rediscovering who I am within

Waking the strength beneath my skin

Survivor's song, I carry on

A new dawn, a rising sun

Every day, I find my way

Stronger than I was yesterday
