I'm still here
Im the son of a woman I never knew, A memory shaped by the stories from a very few although they said she loved me i should never doubt i never felt that love when the lights go out. I’m the brother who watched death knock again, Took my sister with a pill dressed up as a friend. Seven years and I still feel that sting— Some nights i still feel i can hear her sing. I walk with ghosts but my feet don’t shake, I’ve learned how to bend but never to break. I hold my daughter like a shield and flame, Every heartbeat of hers keeps me in the game. Yeah, I'm staring at the mirror, reflection's a mess, i see my daughter smile it remind me I'm blessed Girl, I'm fighting demons, every day's a test, Fentanyl's a grip that I'm trying to suppress. Girlfriend's waiting, she deserves a better man, But these chains of addiction got me in a jam, Every promise made feels like quicksand, Wanna rise up, but I'm sinking where I stand. Late nights, I'm haunted, shadows in my mind, Thoughts of quitting creeping, but I'm running out of time, Need to be a better man, gotta redefine, For my daughter and my girl, gotta leave the past behind. They don’t see the tears I’ve swallowed whole, They just hear the fire erupt from my soul. But every bar I spit, every line I write, Is a war cry carved from my will to fight. Yeah, I’m Joker—laughin’ in pain, Built from the ashes, carved from the rain. Raised on silence, schooled by loss, But I wear my wounds like a badge, not a cross. I’m not perfect, never claimed to be, But I love hard, and I fight to be free. From shadows, from chains, from doubt and fear— You want my story? I. Am. Still. Here.
