This year has been hell,
A storm I can’t outrun,
But worse than the fire,
Is the damage I’ve done.
I’ve hurt those I love,
In ways I can’t undo,
And every regret
Feels heavier than truth.
I never meant to cause pain,
Yet I’ve left scars that won’t fade,
And now I’m haunted by faces
Of the hearts I betrayed.
If I could take it back,
Undo every wrong,
I’d do it in a heartbeat,
To right what’s been so long.
For in this year of chaos,
The hardest truth I’ve found—
Is that the hell I’ve lived through
Is nothing when I’ve let others drown.
