Scars of Survival

[Verse 1] In a world of scorn and hate, lost and all alone, The shadows of distrust, around me, deeply grown. Words like daggers, piercing through my soul, A silent plea for help, in this struggle to stay whole. [Pre-Chorus] Each day a new blow, another stab to the heart, My trust shattered, broken apart. Loneliness my only friend, consuming me, In an endless nightmare, twisting, can't break free. [Chorus] A fire burning within me, scars that remain, Never fading, never ending pain. Yet I stand strong, despite the torment, From the wreckage of myself, I rise, despite the descent. [Verse 2] Eyes full of mockery, words dripping with disdain, A sense of powerlessness, dragging me, causing pain. Nearly drowning in a sea of tears, But in the darkness, finding strength, dispelling fears. [Pre-Chorus] The pain is real, fear gripping tight, But I refuse to break, refuse to take flight. A spark of hope within my chest, propels me forward, In the midst of darkness, a light, never to be ignored. [Pre-Chorus] The pain is real, fear gripping tight, But I refuse to break, refuse to take flight. A spark of hope within my chest, propels me forward, In the midst of darkness, a light, never to be ignored. [Chorus] A fire burning within me, scars that remain, Never fading, never ending pain. Yet I stand strong, despite the torment, From the wreckage of myself, I rise, despite the descent. [Bridge] For I am more than the words they hurl at me, More than the scars they leave upon my heart, you see. I am strong, I am brave, I am worthy and free, And I will rise above, no matter the agony. [Chorus] A fire burning within me, scars that remain, Never fading, never ending pain. Yet I stand strong, despite the torment, From the wreckage of myself, I rise, despite the descent. [Outro] For I am more than just a victim, just a target for their scorn, I am a fighter, a survivor, I'll carry on. And in my strength, in my will to survive, I find peace and hope, in this life, with all its highs and lows.
