Breaking The Cycle

I was raised in the storm, learned to bend with the wind
Taught to stay quiet, keep the pain locked within
I called it strength just to cover the hurt
But silence don't heal what's buried in dirt
I see the cracks where the damage begins
And I swear on my soul it won't touch my kids

I'll carry the weight, but I won't pass it on
Turn pain into purpose before I'm gone
No more silence, no more shame
I'm breaking the cycle, rewriting the pain
The demons that haunt me won't know their name
I'll face everyone until they are tamed

I sit with the pain, I used to outrun
Trace every scar back to where it begun
I ask myself why and I listen real close
To unlearn the tactics I used to cope
Facing the triggers 'til they lose their claim
So my babies don't feel that flame

I'll carry the weight, but I won't pass it on
Turn pain into purpose before I'm gone
No more silence, no more shame
I'm breaking the cycle, rewriting the pain
The demons that haunt me won't know their name
I'll face everyone until they are tamed

My trauma was loud, it echoed for years
But my healing is louder, it silences fear
I rose from the ruins with fire and grace
Took back my voice, let it burn through the haze
I rewrote the ending they said I would face
And now, I'm the storm that keeps pain in its place

I'll carry the weight, but I won't pass it on
Turn pain into purpose before I'm gone
No more silence, no more shame
I'm breaking the cycle, rewriting the pain
The demons that haunt me won't know their name
I'll face everyone until they are tamed

Until they are tamed
Until they are tamed
Until they are tamed
