Scars and Shadows

Whispers in the dark, where nightmares creep,

Trauma's heavy weight, it's hard to sleep.

4 AM shadows, they haunt my mind,

But I'll rise from the ashes, leave the pain behind.

Running from the echoes, a voice harsh and cold,

Moments of silence, feel the stories unfold.

Budgeting my sorrow, counting every tear,

I'm more than just a victim, I will persevere.

The road's long and winding, stacked high with regret,

But I won’t be the prisoner; I refuse to forget.

Recovery's a battle, one day at a time,

The truth will set me free, in rhythm and rhyme.

Hellfire’s coming for those who deceive,

Feel the heat of the truth, it's hard to believe.

I won't wish you bad, but justice will find,

What it feels like to be trapped in your mind.

Scars tell a story, a map of my fight,

Eyes looking back, still searching for light.

Healing may take time, but I’m breaking the chain,

With every step forward, I’m conquering pain.

She's a ghost in the hallway, a whisper in the night,

But I'm reclaiming shadows, stepping into the light.

Once held by the darkness, I learned to let go,

Brighter days ahead, in the heart of a foe.

The world spins slowly, with no need to rush,

Survivor’s anthem rising; no longer hushed.

Recovery's a journey, just one step at a time,

The scars are my armor, and this life is mine.

Hellfire’s coming for those who deceive,

Feel the heat of the truth, it's hard to believe.

I won't wish you bad, but justice will find,

What it feels like to be trapped in your mind.

So, here’s to the mornings when shadows finally fade,

Each breath a victory, each moment remade.

With courage in my heart, I’ll weather the storm,

This warrior’s spirit will never conform.
