Breaking the cycle

In the deepest room inside my mind,

I chased the dark and lost the line.

A broken clock, a vacant chair,

Cold morning waiting in the air.

Then through the walls, a steady sound,

A hand reached down and held me ground.

I heard my name, I heard the truth:

There’s still a road beneath these ruins.

I don’t have to carry every stone,

I don’t have to heal here on my own.

I’m breaking the chains, one link at a time,

With a hand in mine, I can step into the light.

From the ashes, from the rain,

I’m learning how to rise again.

I’m breaking the chains, and I’m not alone,

Hope is growing through the cracks I’ve known.

My shattered heart still beats in place,

A little slower, finding pace.

Two tired eyes, still full of tears,

But now they see beyond the fear.

A friend sat close and let me speak,

No perfect words, no need to fix.

They stayed beside me through the pain,

And helped me breathe, then try again.

I don’t have to carry every stone,

I don’t have to heal here on my own.

I’m breaking the chains, one link at a time,

With a hand in mine, I can step into the light.

From the ashes, from the rain,

I’m learning how to rise again.

I’m breaking the chains, and I’m not alone,

Hope is growing through the cracks I’ve known.

If tomorrow feels too far away,

I’ll take one step, then face the day.

If my strength runs thin and disappears,

I’ll let kind voices meet my fears.

The scars can stay, but they won’t decide

The life that’s waiting on the other side.

I’m breaking the chains, one link at a time,

With a hand in mine, I can step into the light.

From the ashes, from the rain,

I’m learning how to rise again.

I’m breaking the chains, and I’m not alone,

Hope is growing through the cracks I’ve known.

I’m not alone, I’m not alone,

A new heart beating, finding home.
