Midnight Serenade

(ahh) Raised in a house

full of screams,

Mom's lies in my dreams.

Dad checked out, left me alone,

Emancipated

at fifteen, off on my own.

Now I'm just a lost soul,

In a world where I don't belong.

Mom's a narcissist, dad's nowhere to be found,

Just trying to make it through,

somehow. Holidays

with a stranger, that's my dad,

Mom's still the same,

always driving me mad.

Can't escape the past,

it's written in my scars,

Trying to find myself,

amongst the broken parts.

Broken promises, shattered trust,

In a childhood tainted by disgust.

But I'll rise above,

I'll find my way,

In a world where I'll make my own say.

Now I'm just a lost soul,

In a world where I don't belong.

Mom's a narcissist, dad's nowhere to be found,

Just trying to make it through,

somehow.

But I'll keep pushing on,

Through the pain, until it's gone.

I'll break free from the chains,

And rewrite my story,

where only strength remains.
