In the quiet corners of my mind

Shadows linger, they pass through time

Whispers turned to silent screams

I grew up too fast , faltered dreams

I learned how to hide my shame

Crashing forward, day by day

But deep within the scars remain

The secrets of my unspoken pain

I carry it far, wide and tall

The weight of things I still can’t recall

Yet still I stand and I still fight 

Chasing peace through sleepless nights
