Running in Circles

Running around, feeling low

Trying to find a way to grow

Heart's heavy, mind's confused

Every step, I'm feeling used

Daylight fades, I'm on my own

Car's in the shop, feelin' like a stone

Probation's a weight, I'm under the gun

Always on edge, it’s nowhere I run

Worried about my officer’s eyes

Nine to five feels like a disguise

Shelter’s a dream, but I'm reaching high

Trying to climb, but I’m asking why

But I take a breath, I take a step

One day at a time, I won’t forget

The battles I face, the lessons I learn

Through fire and rain, watch how I burn

Running in circles, lost in the dark

Every heartbeat a fragile spark

Trying to rise, but I’m weighed down

Someday I’ll find solid ground

One step, one day, I’ll make my way

Through shadows of doubt, I’ll seize the day

Flashes of moments that haunt my mind

Walking through storms, nothing feels kind

Kicked down again, but I won't lose sight

Each bruise a story, I’ll turn it to light

Day in, day out, I’m working hard

Life throws punches, trying to leave a scar

But I’m like the phoenix, rising anew

With every fall, I’m breaking through

Feel the fire, the deepening pain

But I won’t break under the strain

Keep my head up, I’m learning to fight

Rule my heart and embrace the night

Running in circles, lost in the dark

Every heartbeat a fragile spark

Trying to rise, but I’m weighed down

Someday I’ll find solid ground

One step, one day, I’ll make my way

Through shadows of doubt, I’ll seize the day

Life’s a journey, not a race

Every roadblock feels like a trace

Of lessons learned, and love from the past

This storm will fade, these shadows won’t last

So I’ll take my time, and I’ll run my race

Finding my strength in this hidden place

With faith in my heart and hope in my eyes

I’ll break these chains, oh, I’ll rise, I’ll rise.
