Learning to Rise Again

Every morning's a battle, I rise from the storm,

A mind full of echoes, in a world that feels warm.

Brian Penn, I'm learning, to navigate this maze,

Beneath the shadows, I’ll break through the haze.

Some days I’m a warrior, ready to fight,

Other days I'm a ghost, fading out of sight.

The questions keep clawing, like a thief in the night,

In the silence I wonder, where’s the end in this plight?

Triggers like thunder, they shake through my core,

Memories flood back, I can't settle the score.

Just learning each moment, to stand then to fall,

I’m searching for answers, but I’m hitting the wall.

Why me? I ask the mirror, as the shadows play,

When you’re loved by a monster, it dims the light of day.

But I’m rising like a phoenix, from the ashes of pain,

Each step I’m reclaiming, there’s strength in the rain.

I recall the whispers, the lies that they weave,

Every punch and the silence, I couldn’t believe.

They took all my courage, locked it deep inside,

But through the cracks of this heart, there’s a spark I can't hide.

Every day is a lesson, a chance to ignite,

With hope painted darkly, I’ll find my own light.

The battle is real, but I’m learning to fight,

In this journey for freedom, I’ll embrace the night.

Why me? I ask the mirror, as the shadows play,

When you’re loved by a monster, it dims the light of day.

But I’m rising like a phoenix, from the ashes of pain,

Each step I’m reclaiming, there’s strength in the rain.

Who I was, what I’ve done, it's only a part,

I'm building a fortress, brick by brick in my heart.

Each tear’s a reminder, each scar tells my story,

Through the darkest of nights, I'll walk towards my glory.

Why me? I ask the mirror, but I’m finding my way,

The echoes of yesterday won’t hold me at bay.

I’m a warrior rising, I’ll embrace who I am,

Through the fire and fury, I'll make my own stand.

So here’s to tomorrow, with each breath I take,

I’m healing within, and I won’t break.

From Brian Penn to the skies, watch me soar and break free,

In this fight for my soul, I’ll finally be me.
