In the silence of my mind, words linger unsaid
Locked in a prison where they're left to tread
Fear grips tight, but I won't let it be my guide
For if I loosen its hold, it'll swallow me inside

I'm holding back the storm that's raging deep within
Keeping secrets buried underneath my skin
But I won't let them conquer, won't let them define
I'll break free from these chains, let my spirit shine

There's a flood behind these eyes, ready to overflow
But I keep it at bay, letting just a trickle show
Coldness wraps around me, threatening to consume
But I'll fight the flames, won't let them seal my doom

I'll find the strength to speak, to break the silence
To face the fears and embrace resilience
No longer confined by what I cannot say
I'll let my truth out, let it guide my way

I'm holding back the storm that's raging deep within
Keeping secrets buried underneath my skin
But I won't let them conquer, won't let them define
I'll break free from these chains, let my spirit shine

Though the journey's long, and the road is steep
I'll keep pushing forward, won't accept defeat
With each step I take, I'll reclaim my voice
And in the end, I'll rise, and I'll rejoice
