Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro]  
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.  
[Verse 1]  
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.  
[Pre-Chorus]  
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.  
[Chorus]  
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.  
[Bridge]  
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.  
[Verse 2]  
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.  
[Pre-Chorus]  
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.  
[Chorus]  
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.  
[Outro]  
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.
