Courage in the Darkness

[Intro]  
In the silence, whispers call my name,  
With every night, I feel the same pain.  
Underneath the stars, alone with my fight,  
A spark of hope fading into the night.  
[Verse 1]  
These shadows linger, haunting my mind,  
Every step I take, I'm falling behind.  
Kansas sky, so heavy and grey,  
Lost in the echoes of yesterday.  
[Pre-Chorus]  
But I breathe in the hurt, trying to stay strong,  
Searching for answers in a world that feels wrong.  
Caught in the memories, like chains on my soul,  
Drowning in sorrow, losing control.  
[Chorus]  
Oh, I’m tired of the flashbacks, tired of the fight,  
Every night’s a battle, in the fading light.  
I scream at the heavens, but no one hears me,  
Just a ghost in the silence, yearning to be free.  
[Bridge]  
Can you hear me?  
I’m calling through the dark,  
A fragile heart, searching for a spark.  
I’m fragile but I’m fierce, I won’t give in,  
This chapter’s not over, let the healing begin.  
[Verse 2]  
In the rearview, shadows chase my past,  
But I’m reaching for the dawn, I won’t let it last.  
The road feels long, but I’ll find my place,  
In the depth of my sorrow, I'll find my grace.  
[Pre-Chorus]  
With every tear I shed, I’ll build a new day,  
Breaking these chains that want me to stay.  
I’ll rise from the ashes, I won’t be confined,  
A survivor’s spirit, a powerful mind.  
[Chorus]  
Oh, I’m tired of the flashbacks, tired of the fight,  
Every night’s a battle, in the fading light.  
But I’m stronger than the scars that try to contain,  
This heart is alive, I’ll learn to sustain.  
[Outro]  
So here’s to tomorrow, where hope can ignite,  
I’ll step into the dawn, no more fear in sight.  
With every heartbeat, I take a stand true,  
I won’t let the dark shadows swallow me too.
