Reliving Shadows

In the silence of the night,

Echoes of the past collide,

I close my eyes but can't escape,

The shadows linger, there's no grace.

Learning to breathe, I'm finding my way,

Each dawn breaks with fear, but I fight every day.

Memories wrapped in a shroud of despair,

Whispers in the dark, I can feel them there.

They say time can heal, but what does it mean?

When the shower curtain holds a grip so mean,

Ghosts of the past come alive in the night,

I’m haunted by moments, no end in sight.

Reliving scars, it’s a heavy weight,

Every heartbeat echoes, all the love and hate.

Through the chaos of my mind, I fight to stay real,

Dancing with shadows, can you feel what I feel?

Voices in the bathroom, they scream and they shout,

Telling me the water’s wrong, they cast me out.

A bed that moves, but there's no one around,

Trying to shake this feeling, I’m grounded, I’m bound.

They say I'm stronger, fighting through my pain,

But these phantoms of my past seem to know my name.

Each flashback a storm, crashing down on me,

Searching for solace, will I ever be free?

Reliving scars, it’s a heavy weight,

Every heartbeat echoes, all the love and hate.

Through the chaos of my mind, I fight to stay real,

Dancing with shadows, can you feel what I feel?

I’m a warrior waking in the light,

With courage as my armor, ready for the fight.

Taking each step, reclaiming my ground,

With hope as my compass, I will be found.

Reliving scars, but I won’t let them win,

Every tear I've shed is where my fight begins.

Through the chaos of my mind, I rise from the deep,

Dancing with shadows, but I take back my sleep.

Learning to deal, it's a journey, not a race,

Finding light in the moments, embracing my space.

Through every flashback, I’m finding my way,

Building my future, one step at a time, come what may.
