Shadows of Recovery

In a town where echoes linger, where shadows never fade,

Finding solace is a journey, in the memories I've made.

Every corner tells a story, a reminder of the pain,

In the places I once wandered, I'm still dancing in the rain.

Restaurants filled with laughter, but there's silence in my soul,

Faces from my history, I can't seem to let go.

Sometimes I wanna run away, leave this past behind,

Elevator screams my inner thoughts, racing in my mind.

But I know it takes time, weaving through these streets,

With shadows walking close beside me, their whispers I defeat.

Searching for a safe haven, every night I roam,

Hoping for a moment where I finally feel at home.

Every ER's a battlefield, memories rush like tides,

Seeing faces of the past, where my heart still tries to hide.

Recovery is a ladder, climbing rung by rung,

But some days I'm still haunted, wondering if I'm strong.

Yet as the night wraps around me, I feel a flicker grow,

A guiding light that's flickering, within my very soul.

And I know it takes time, weaving through these streets,

With shadows walking close beside me, their whispers I defeat.

Searching for a safe haven, every night I roam,

Hoping for a moment where I finally feel at home.

One day at a time, I’m learning how to breathe,

Finding peace in every heartbeat, leaving ghosts upon the leaves.

Silent prayers in the twilight, I’m breaking every chain,

Reaching for the light above me, free from all this pain.

So I wander through the night, yes, I’ll take it one step more,

With the shadows as my witnesses, I’m destined to restore.

Every tear is a story, every scar is my embrace,

In this journey of recovery, I’ll slowly find my place.
