Surviving

A haunting memory

By Sara CPublished about a year ago 1 min read

(Verse 1)

In halls of learning, where minds are free

A silence fell, like a dark decree

The sound of gunfire, a nightmare's scream

A life forever changed, in a moment's dream

(Chorus)

Oh, the echoes remain, of that fateful day

A haunting memory, that refuses to fade

The weight of survival, a burden to bear

A life reborn, from the ashes of despair

(Verse 2)

She walked through halls, where blood had stained

Where laughter and tears, had once been sustained

The ghosts of friends, who didn't make it through

Haunting her steps, with a sorrow anew

(Chorus)

Oh, the echoes remain, of that fateful day

A haunting memory, that refuses to fade

The weight of survival, a burden to bear

A life reborn, from the ashes of despair

(Bridge)

In the mirror's gaze, a reflection stares

A face that's changed, with eyes that bear

The scars of trauma, the weight of pain

A story untold, of a life regained

(Chorus)

Oh, the echoes remain, of that fateful day

A haunting memory, that refuses to fade

The weight of survival, a burden to bear

A life reborn, from the ashes of despair

(Outro)

She finds her voice, in the silence and pain

A whisper of hope, a life reclaimed

The echoes remain, but she'll find a way

To heal, to mend, to rise above the gray.
