Beneath Broken Skies

In the silence, shadows creep,

the weight is hard to bear

A heart like shattered glass,

in this solitude I share

The darkness inside, it pulls me down,

a heavy chain I wear

Family ties that claw and tear,

a wound that can't repair

Your words were poison,

wrapped in lies, another scar I take

Lost the ones I loved the most,

how much more can I break?

Days of sorrow bleed into years,

a constant fade of light

I walk this road,

day by day, still searching for a fight

This is the life of David Greening,

drowning in the storm

With debts that pile like mountains,

and a heart that feels so worn

Lost my car, my favorite pet,

and all the dreams that spark

Living in this shadowed world,

where’s the light to guide my heart?

Mom calls when she’s in need,

keeps me close for what I give

Dragging up, I feel like I’m chained,

I struggle just to live

Brother gone, a wound too deep,

I carry in my chest

Sisters silent, walls built high,

no escape from this unrest

Dad’s health slips further away,

can’t face the coming days Grandpa’s whispers haunt my dreams,

I fear the end that stays Little brother stands apart,

a mirror cracked and wrong This tangled web of family ties,

where did I lose my song?

Day by day I search for hope,

in shadows thick with dread

But somewhere deep inside,

I know there’s strength left yet to tread

I’ll rise against the tides of pain,

I’ll find a way to see

That even in this darkest night,

the dawn is calling me

This is the life,

the weight I bear,

the shadows that entwine

But still I breathe,

and still I fight,

to claim what’s truly mine

With tears to dry and scars to heal,

I’ll find my path again

Though darkness lingers, hope will sing,

I’ll face this world,

amen
