Chains of My Past

In the silence of the night, I hear the distant cries,

Shadows of my childhood, where hope often dies.

Chains of the past wrap tight around my soul,

Fighting through the darkness, just trying to feel whole.

I grew up in a place where laughter turned to tears,

Carrying the weight of my family’s broken years.

Oldest child with love in a shattered home,

Fighting through the chaos, feeling lost and alone.

Anger mixed with sadness, I’ve built my walls so high,

Searching for the answers in a stormy sky.

But through the noise, I can hear the faint refrain,

Whispers of redemption, calling me by name.

Break these chains, let my spirit soar,

I’m weary from the battles, longing to be more.

Grace is in the shadows, mercy at my door,

Though I feel unworthy, I will rise once more.

Tears fall like rain, but there’s strength in my pain,

Learning to surrender, I’m breaking free from shame.

With every plea, I can feel the chains unwind,

Prayers in the background, healing wounds combined.

Struggling with the echoes of the life I once knew,

Finding strength in storms, for I’m starting anew.

Falling to my knees, I lay my burdens down,

In the arms of mercy, I’ll find my solid ground.

Anger mixed with sadness, I’ll learn to let it go,

With every step I take, my heart begins to grow.

Through the darkest valleys, I’m learning how to fight,

Holding on to faith, I'll step into the light.

Break these chains, let my spirit soar,

I’m weary from the battles, longing to be more.

Grace is in the shadows, mercy at my door,

Though I feel unworthy, I will rise once more.
