entrapped

I chased a spark, I found a flame, It burned my soul, then gave me shame. What felt like joy soon turned to pain, A silent chain I can't explain. It stole my peace, it took my light, And kept me crying through the night. But deep inside, I still believe— One day, I’ll rise. One day, I’ll leave. I’m not my past, I’m not my fall, There’s strength in me beyond it all. With broken steps, I’ll find my way— Toward the light, away from gray.
