STILL RISING

I wrote "Still Rising" for every night I couldn't sleep, every scar no one could see, and for the love that kept me alive — my son. It's about growing up where fear lived in the walls, about addiction as survival, not selfishness, and about being more than a name on a file or a record. It's about reaching out for support and getting shame, and learning to stand anyway. If you've ever had to let someone go out of love, if you've ever felt your voice didn't matter, if you've ever had to reclaim control of your own life — this is for you. I know my worth. I know my name. I'm not my shame. I'm still here. Thank you for listening.
