There were days I sank without a sound No screams, no tears, just empty ground A battle raged inside of me A silent ache no one could see I wore a smile, laced with pain Each step felt lost inside the rain I begged the night to let me go But woke again, too numb to know Still, something small refused to die A stubborn breath, a quiet sigh And though I cracked, I didn’t break I stood back up, for my own sake The scars are there, but so am I I faced the dark, I lived, I tried I’m not the same, but I am here A soul that stayed when none came near

The Quiet War
There were days I sank without a sound No screams, no tears, just empty ground A battle raged inside of me A silent ache no one could see I wore a smile, laced with pain Each step felt lost inside the rain I begged the night to let me go But woke again, too numb to know Still, something small refused to die A stubborn breath, a quiet sigh And though I cracked, I didn’t break I stood back up, for my own sake The scars are there, but so am I I faced the dark, I lived, I tried I’m not the same, but I am here A soul that stayed when none came near
