The weight

They say the road is cracked,

Say my mind’s off track,

Say I’m built to collapse, a panic attack.

Stress in my chest, heartbeat on repeat,

Layin’ wide awake, mind stuck on the beat.

I heard it all—every whisper, every laugh,

“Nothin’ but an addict, same fate as his dad.”

Their words weigh heavy like a stone on my back,

But I rise through the fire, never fall through the cracks.

Pressure on my shoulders, feels a thousand pounds deep,

But I’m standin’ on the edge, and I still won’t weep.

⸻

I been walkin’ for miles, blistered feet, bloodied toes,

Chasin’ after dreams down a road no one knows.

Every step burnin’, can’t cover the lies,

’Cause I’m always runnin’ away, never good at goodbyes.

Yeah, I been walkin’ for miles, blistered feet, bloodied toes,

Carryin’ the pain but I never let it show.

Every step forward, another piece dies,

Still I’m always runnin’ away, never good at goodbyes.

⸻

Every eye on me, waitin’ for me to break,

Every rumor that they spread, every move that I make.

“You ain’t good enough” echo in my brain,

But I fight through the thunder, keep pushin’ through the rain.

They beat me down, left me scarred, tried to bury me low,

But the pain turned to fire, now it fuels my flow.

I’m not the man that they framed, not the fate they designed,

I broke chains of the past, left the darkness behind.

Stumble, crawl, stagger—still I’m movin’ free,

Through the storm, through the fire, that’s my legacy.

I’m not the shadow they claimed, I refuse to be,

I’m a man on a mission, built from tragedy.

I been walkin’ for miles, blistered feet, bloodied toes,

Yeah, I been walkin’ for miles, blistered feet, bloodied toes,

Carryin’ the pain but I never let it show.

Every step forward, another piece dies,

Still I’m always runnin’ away, never good at goodbyes.

⸻

Maybe I’m lost, maybe I’m scarred,

But these broken roads still carried me this far.

Haunted by the past, by the weight of my name,

But I bleed through the miles just to rise from the pain.

⸻

I’ve stumbled, I’ve fallen, I’ve swallowed the dirt,

But the struggle made me stronger, I was forged in the hurt.

Silent in my battles, no applause, no crowd,

But I’m climbin’ every mountain till I stand unbowed.

Not the addict, not the ghost that they tried to define,

I’m a storm, I’m a fighter, I was built to survive.

Barefoot and broken, still I cross that line,

Turn my wounds into weapons, make the darkness shine.
