Blades and Shadows

Verse 1
Teenage me, lost inside,
A storm I couldn’t show, nowhere to hide.
A blade became my secret friend,
A fleeting peace that never seemed to end.

I learned the lines, where to go,
The pain to feel, but not to show.
Months I lived in quiet despair,
Hoping someone would even care.

Chorus
I carved my pain, but no one knew,
A secret world I couldn’t undo.
Shadows of me, hidden away,
I survived the night, lived another day.
They called me crazy, said I was unsafe,
But all I wanted was a little space.

Verse 2
She found the truth, didn’t understand,
Said I was broken, a danger at hand.
Locked in judgment, cornered in shame,
Dragged to a place that didn’t know my name.

I wasn’t safe, they didn’t see,
The only way to cope, to be free.
A silent scream, a fight inside,
A teenage world where I had to hide.

Chorus
I carved my pain, but no one knew,
A secret world I couldn’t undo.
Shadows of me, hidden away,
I survived the night, lived another day.
They called me crazy, said I was unsafe,
But all I wanted was a little space.

Bridge
I’m not my mistakes, I’m not my pain,
I’m the storm that danced through the rain.
Every scar a story they’ll never see,
Every cut a lesson in survival for me.

Final Chorus
I carved my pain, but now I’m here,
The shadows fading, the path is clear.
Teenage me, I see you still,
You fought the dark, you found your will.
They didn’t understand, but I survived,
And every scar is proof I’m alive.

Outro
Blades and shadows, a memory I bear,
A teenage storm, but I’m still here.
