I always felt it in my bones,
Like my life was meant to be short, unknown.
No reason, no rhyme, just a quiet thought,
Unwritten truth, something I was taught.
I forget sometimes this is all so fast,
Time slips away, we can’t make it last.
No breaks for pain, no time to rest,
We all bear trauma, we do our best.

One’s deepest wound, another’s elate,
A shrug of shoulders, a twist of fate.
No empathy in this endless race,
Just scars we carry in empty space.

I won’t be belittled, won’t be berated,
By someone who’s supposed to be my haven.
I’ve lied to myself for far too long,
Boring contentment masking the wrong.
Rejection buried deep inside,
No more pretending, no more lies.

I see the world for what it is,
A place where empathy barely exists.
We build walls high, we lose the fight,
Living in shadows, hiding from light.
But I won’t drown in your demands,
I’ve faced too much to be less than I am.
I won’t lie to myself anymore,
I’m walking away from this locked door.

One’s deepest wound, another’s sigh,
A story untold, a tearless cry.
No more silence, I’ll break free,
From this weight that’s crushing me.

I won’t be belittled, won’t be berated,
By someone who’s supposed to be my haven.
I’ve lied to myself for far too long,
Boring contentment masking the wrong.
Rejection buried deep inside,
No more pretending, no more lies.

I’m stronger now, I’ve found my voice,
In this fleeting life, I’ll make my choice.
I’ll write my story, I’ll stand my ground,
In this world that keeps spinning round.

No more lies, no more disguise,
I’m stepping into the truth, open wide.
I won’t be silenced, won’t be afraid,
I’m walking the path that I’ve always made.
