Shadows in the Light

Shadows in the Light

I wake up and everything feels the same,

no plan, just thoughts that I can’t contain,

the mirror shows me a face with no shine,

asking myself, “When did I lose what was mine?”

Cold walls, empty space,

broken dreams I can’t replace,

I hear my heart but it feels so far,

like it’s hiding somewhere beneath these scars.

And I run but I don’t get far,

going in circles, stuck where we are,

every night it’s the same old fight,

looking for answers in endless nights.

I stand in the shadows, searching for light,

no matter how far I run, it’s out of sight,

my voice fades away in the dark so deep,

and nobody’s there when I’m losing sleep.

I carry this weight on my own again,

but deep inside I know I won’t bend,

even when everything falls apart,

I rise again… from a shattered heart.

Time keeps moving, no sense, no aim,

every second feels like pain,

I don’t give up, though I’m close to the edge,

there’s still a voice that won’t let me rest.

Too many scars, too much to feel,

but I hold on to something real,

maybe there’s more than the hurt I know,

even if right now it doesn’t show.

And I fall, but I stand once more,

even when I’m losing the war,

every tear is a part of me,

but I keep fighting… I won’t leave.

I stand in the shadows, searching for light,

no matter how far I run, it’s out of sight,

my voice fades away in the dark so deep,

and nobody’s there when I’m losing sleep.

I carry this weight on my own again,

but deep inside I know I won’t bend,

even when everything falls apart,

I rise again… from a shattered heart.

Maybe one day I’ll understand,

why I walk through this broken land,

why the pain made me who I am,

even when I don’t know if I can.

Till that day I take each step,

carry my scars, no regrets,

‘cause deep inside there’s still a light…

even if I can’t see it tonight.
