Triggers to Triumphs

I've been stuck

Not just in place but in pain

Memories replay like a film I never agreed to star in

The weight of what I survived felt heavier than my survival

You ever feel that

I lost myself tryna keep others close

Smiled through storms like my wounds didn't show

Pretending I'm fine but inside it's a war

Chasing peace but it's never at the door

You say I'm strong but strength ain't silence

I'm screaming on the inside but I force myself to remain silent

Trapped in my mind but I still gotta fight

Surviving these demons every day every night

I prayed for peace in rooms that never heard me

I begged for healing in mirrors I couldn't even face

And when peace wouldn't come

And when peace wouldn't come

I made a home in my hurt

Curled up in it called it normal

I been down bad but I never stayed low

Pain in my chest but I still let it go

Breathin' through hell now I'm watchin' me glow

Triggers to triumphs had to break just to grow

I'm rebuilding from destruction call it restoration

Pain's my foundation now I'm chasing elevation

Lost parts of me but I'm taking them back

Turning my struggles into strength I'm finally on track

Heartbreak and trauma tried to keep me locked in

But I'm breaking through walls now I'm standing tall again

This ain't a fairytale but I'm writing my own

From history to her story I'm taking back the throne

Healing ain't pretty

It's ugly It's messy

It's crawling through the mud

Choosing to still believe there's something left to rebuild

This is for the souls caged by heartbreak

Shackled by trauma buried in the deep

But you're still here

You didn't give up

You didn't disappear

You woke up and chose to breathe

That's healing

Through the darkness you found your light

Even when the world tried to dim your sight

You fought through the silence

Pushed past the fear

Now you stand taller your strength is clear

They tried to bury you but you kept growing

Like seeds in the soil your power's been showing

You rose from the ashes still standing strong

This is your story this is your song

You're not just surviving you're alive and thriving

From pain to power there's no more hiding

Your journey ain't over; it's just begun

This is your victory look at what you've won

I been down bad but I never stayed low

Pain in my chest but I still let it go

Breathin' through hell now I'm watchin' me glow

Triggers to triumphs had to break just to grow

You're not trapped forever

You're just in transition

Transformation is loud before it's liberating

So take a breath

And let yourself grow
