One Day at a Time

In the silence, shadows creep,

Locked inside, it’s hard to sleep.

A flicker, a thought, I can’t erase,

Memories come flooding, I can’t face.

One day I’m walking on fragile ground,

The next, I’m lost, nowhere to be found.

Haunted echoes from a distant past,

Chasing shadows, how long will this last?

The chains of doubt, they weigh me down,

In an empty room, it’s there, I drown.

I remember laughter, once so clear,

Now it’s shadows, drowned in fear.

Torn and broken, from the fight,

But I’ll keep searching for the light.

One day at a time, I’ll mend this heart,

Picking up pieces, a brand new start.

Though the ghosts may linger, I’ll find my way,

Each step I take, I’ll rise today.

Fragile like glass, I’m shaking inside,

When memories rush, I have nowhere to hide.

A flicker of pain, a tear in the night,

But I’m more than the scars, I’ll win this fight.

I’m learning to breathe, to take it slow,

Brick by brick, I’ll start to grow.

With every heartbeat, I reclaim my soul,

In this journey, I’ll take control.

One day at a time, I’ll mend this heart,

Picking up pieces, a brand new start.

Though the ghosts may linger, I’ll find my way,

Each step I take, I’ll rise today.

So here I stand, with scars to show,

A warrior in silence, learning to glow.

Flashbacks may rattle, but I am still here,

Stronger than ever, I conquer my fear.

One day at a time, that’s all I’ll need,

In the garden of hope, I sow my seed.

Though the past may whisper, I’ll choose to be free,

With each passing moment, I’ll become me.
