In the depths of despair she once roamed Haunted by voices, her mind not her own Addiction’s cruel grip, a relentless foe Reality blurred, illusions took hold Aside the chaos, in the quiet of her mind, A secret weighed heavy, one of a kind, A truth discovered, a burden to bear, In the depths of her soul, she tasted fear The voices whispered deviant tales She fought & struggled, but to no avail Lost in a world where delusion reigned She stumbled, she fell, her sanity strained She longed to share, to open her heart, But the demons within tore her apart, When she spoke, the words contorted, Purpose lost, her mind distorted Thus in her past, mistakes were made, Actions taken, debts unpaid, Regrets weigh heavy, but the deed is done Severe colours now perceived as her truth It took a while, but she did it, she’s free, From addiction’s chains she had flee Through darkness, she sought the dawn, as the first light broke, her new life began And as time went by, she started to see, Her burden could be her key to be free, For in her truth she found colossal grace, A light in the darkness, a guiding embrace And as she nears the verge of the sublime, She knows it’s almost her time to climb, To rise from the ashes, to soar and fly, A testament to strength that refuses to die

In the depths of despair she once roamed Haunted by voices, her mind not her own Addiction’s cruel grip, a relentless foe Reality blurred, illusions took hold Aside the chaos, in the quiet of her mind, A secret weighed heavy, one of a kind, A truth discovered, a burden to bear, In the depths of her soul, she tasted fear The voices whispered deviant tales She fought & struggled, but to no avail Lost in a world where delusion reigned She stumbled, she fell, her sanity strained She longed to share, to open her heart, But the demons within tore her apart, When she spoke, the words contorted, Purpose lost, her mind distorted Thus in her past, mistakes were made, Actions taken, debts unpaid, Regrets weigh heavy, but the deed is done Severe colours now perceived as her truth It took a while, but she did it, she’s free, From addiction’s chains she had flee Through darkness, she sought the dawn, as the first light broke, her new life began And as time went by, she started to see, Her burden could be her key to be free, For in her truth she found colossal grace, A light in the darkness, a guiding embrace And as she nears the verge of the sublime, She knows it’s almost her time to climb, To rise from the ashes, to soar and fly, A testament to strength that refuses to die
