In shadows cast by cruel night's embrace,
I dwell in depths of a hidden disgrace.
Within these walls, my spirit's breath withheld,
I bear the weight of a story untold.
His hands, once tender, now wield pain and fear,
Leaving marks unseen, but my soul can't clear.
Like brittle petals crushed by raging storm,
My innocence shattered, a heart forlorn.
Each word a weapon, cutting through my core,
He twists my truth, my spirit to ignore.
My tears, like raindrops, fall on barren ground,
Lost in a silence where hope can't be found.
Whispered promises of love turned to lies,
His rage a tempest, thunder in disguise.
I cower in corners, my spirit confined,
Longing for freedom, a lifeline to find.
But deep within, a spark of strength remains,
A flicker of hope that endures the pains.
I gather fragments of courage anew,
Resolving to break free, to start anew.
For I am more than a victim's disguise,
A phoenix rising, with fire in my eyes.
With every scar, I'll forge a path of light,
Reclaiming my voice, reclaiming my right.
No longer defined by the chains that bind,
I'll find solace in the love I will find.
For in my heart, resilience takes its flight,
A survivor's anthem, reclaiming my life.
