Tell me

Tell me, have you always felt knocked down,

When the silence screams, and no one’s around?

Does it feel like the world’s unraveling slow,

A looping song that won’t let go?

Does your mind keep spinning, a tire worn thin,

A race with no finish, you can’t ever win?

Do you wish you could rewind, press reset on the pain,

Back to a moment untouched by the rain?

But everything halts, your chest starts to freeze,

The blame whispers softly, bringing you to your knees.

It’s all on you, every crack, every scar,

Every time you reached but couldn’t grab the stars.

So how do we stop feeling lost in the haze,

When life’s a storm with no calm in its gaze?

How do we rise when we’re bound by our mind,

Chained to the weight we’ve carried through time?

The shadows, they grow, they stretch and they call,

Echoing fears, magnifying it all.

I’m searching for balance, for one steady ground,

A shelter of peace where hope can be found.

Tell me, do you feel it, this endless fight,

To chase down a flicker in the cold of the night?

If you’ve been there, tell me, how do you climb,

When the walls of your past are steeped in grime?

I’m reaching for answers, a sign to hold tight,

Something to carry me through this long night.

Tell me, have you ever felt this way, too?

And if you have… how did you make it through?
