Courage in the Darkness

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
