Echos OF Silence: The Unspoken Struggles Of Mental Health

Why Me? (Took inspiration from song)

Why did you do it?
Why did you take from me
The very essence of my being
And leave me alone and broken?

You were supposed to love me
To care for me, to be there for me
But instead, you crushed me
With your selfish desires and actions

You took the innocence that I had
And used it for your own volition
You left me shattered and scarred
In a world of pain and confusion

I begged you to stop, it hurt so much
But you didn't listen, you didn't care
You took it all and left me raw
From that day on, I was no longer able to cope

I couldn't handle my own mind
It was consumed by memories of you
You FUCKING KNEW it, and yet you still did it
You took away my trust, my voice, my choice

Why me? Why did you choose me?
Out of all the people in this world
Why did you choose to hurt the one
Who looked to you for love and protection?

I am no longer the same
I am no longer whole
You broke something in me
That can never be repaired

But I am not a victim
I am a survivor
I will rise from the ashes
And reclaim my power

I will not be defined
By what you did to me
I will find my strength
And never let anyone take it away again

So go ahead and try to silence me
With your threats and your lies
But I will speak out
And I will no longer hide

Why me? I may never know
But I refuse to let your darkness
Consume me any longer
For I am a light that will shine on.
