Echoes of Freedom

In the silence of the morning,

Echoes of the night remain,

Haunted by the shadows,

That whisper your name.

Waking up, heavy heart,

Eyes open to a brand new day,

But the ghosts of yesterday,

Just won't fade away.

Voices shout inside my mind,

Telling me I’m not enough,

Hiding from the love I crave,

But still holding on to tough.

Every word like daggers thrown,

Every moment felt alone,

But I’m trying to break free,

Searching for a piece of me.

Oh, will I ever see the light?

In this darkness, I still fight,

I’m free but still I feel the chains,

A heart that's weathered, oh, it pains.

But I'll rise like a phoenix from the ash,

Leave behind the echoes of the past.

Days feel long, and nights are cold,

Memories in every fold,

Hiding bruises in the soul,

Just a stranger still feeling whole.

You hold me tight, but I push away,

Fear that love might lead to pain,

But the sun breaks through my tears,

Trying to drown those haunting fears.

Oh, will I ever see the light?

In this darkness, I still fight,

I’m free but still I feel the chains,

A heart that's weathered, oh, it pains.

But I'll rise like a phoenix from the ash,

Leave behind the echoes of the past.

Healing’s a journey, steps unclear,

But with every heartbeat, I persevere,

Take a breath, I’m letting go,

Of the weight I've carried low.

Oh, will I ever see the light?

In this darkness, I still fight,

I’m free but still I feel the chains,

A heart that's weathered, oh, it pains.

But I'll rise like a phoenix from the ash,

Leave behind the echoes of the past.

So here I stand, unbroken, brave,

Learning to dance on what they gave,

Through the storm, I find my way,

Each day a chance to heal and sway.
