I walked through winters without ending
Felt the weight of every doubt
Nights that carved their names inside me
Nights I barely made it out

Silence held me like a prison
Cold hands round a fading flame
But even when the dark was deeper
I refused to die the same

I am rising from the shadows
From the echoes of the pain
I was broken, I was hollow
But I learned to stand again
Time may never ask forgiveness
Yet it taught me how to mend
I am rising from the shadows
Stronger than I ever planned

I’ve carried ghosts in quiet corners
Let them whisper in my bones
Every memory had teeth
Every truth was carved in stone

Still I gathered all the pieces
Named the fractures as they came
Every step became a promise
I won’t fall the same again

I am rising from the shadows
From the echoes of the pain
I was broken, I was hollow
But I learned to stand again
Time may never ask forgiveness
Yet it taught me how to mend
I am rising from the shadows
Stronger than I ever planned

If the night returns to test me
Let it find me standing still
I survived the quiet violence
Now I bend it to my will

I am rising from the shadows
From the echoes of the pain
I was broken, I was hollow
But I learned to stand again
Time may never ask forgiveness
Yet it taught me how to mend
I am rising from the shadows
Stronger than I ever planned
