I walk alone, shadows in my mind, Whispers in the dark, they’re so unkind. Every glance, every word, a dagger to my soul, They don’t know my story, but they think they know it all. Hurts inside, can’t escape this pain, Caught in the storm, drowning in the rain. Judged by the faces I see every day, But they don’t see the battles I fight on display. Smiles like a mask, hiding what’s beneath, Broken pieces scattered, can’t find my belief. They see the surface, a smile on my face, But deep down inside, I’m lost in this place. Hurts inside, can’t escape this pain, Caught in the storm, drowning in the rain. Judged by the faces I see every day, But they don’t see the battles I fight on display. Hurts inside, can’t escape this pain, Caught in the storm, drowning in the rain. Judged by the faces I see every day, But they don’t see the battles I fight on display. Smiles like a mask, hiding what’s beneath, Broken pieces scattered, can’t find my belief. They see the surface, a smile on my face, But deep down inside, I’m lost in this place. I scream in silence, my heart feels so heavy, Trapped in this cycle, the world is unsteady. They throw their stones, but I’ll rise from the ashes, Building my fortress from all of their flashes. I’ll find my way, through the hurt and the lies, No more chains, I’m breaking these ties. With every tear, I’ll learn to survive, From the pain that they caused, I’ll come back alive. Hurts inside, can’t escape this pain, Caught in the storm, drowning in the rain. Judged by the faces I see every day, But they don’t see the battles I fight on display. So here’s my truth, raw and unfiltered, A heart that’s been bruised, but never withered. I’ll rise from the darkness, I’ll shout to the skies, You can’t dim my light, I will always rise. So here’s my truth, raw and unfiltered, A heart that’s been bruised, but never withered. I’ll rise from the darkness, I’ll shout to the skies, You can’t dim my light, I will always rise.
