The Message From the Shadows

I learned to pack my life in silence
Fold my name into a coat
Every city felt like borrowing
Every goodbye felt rehearsed
I slept in rooms that never asked me
Who I was or where I’d been
I kept moving like a habit
So the cracks wouldn’t settle in

I learned the art of disappearing
Before they learned to let me stay
I called it freedom, called it living
But it felt more like running away

There’s a message from the shadows
Calling me back home
Not the place I came from
But the one I built alone
It says you’re not what they left behind
You’re what survived the fall
There’s a message from the shadows
And it’s louder than them all

Friends turned into passing seasons
Promises expired with time
Blood learned how to look away
Love learned how to cross the line
I stopped asking who betrayed me
Started asking what stayed true
When the world keeps closing doors
You learn which ones you push through

I don’t carry their forgiveness
I don’t need their name for proof
I’ve been living with the damage
Long enough to call it truth

There’s a message from the shadows
Scratched into my bones
It says stop waiting to be chosen
You already chose
You’re not broken — you were bent
By hands that couldn’t hold
There’s a message from the shadows
And it’s colder than the cold

The ghosts still follow me
But they don’t lead
They watch from corners
They wait for weakness
They don’t scream
They whisper
You remember us
I do.
But I don’t belong to you anymore.

I didn’t build this life to be forgiven
I built it so I could breathe
If this is all I ever get
It’s enough
Because it’s mine
