Burden of Birth

[@MasterSly10]

(Verse 1) I woke to the weight of a silent cry, A shadow whispered, asking why. Each breath I take feels like a theft, A gift unearned, a soul bereft. (Chorus) Born to the world, but did I choose? A life bestowed, yet I can't refuse. Guilt lingers deep, a heavy chain, Bound by the reason I can't explain. (Verse 2) The mirror stares with accusing eyes, Reflecting truths I can't disguise. A fragile spark in a vast, cold night, Questioning if it has the right. (Chorus) Born to the world, but did I choose? A life bestowed, yet I can't refuse. Guilt lingers deep, a heavy chain, Bound by the reason I can't explain. (Bridge) But in this pain, a quiet plea, A voice that whispers, “Just let it be.” For every shadow hides some light, And every burden fuels the fight. (Outro) So I’ll carry on, though the weight won’t lift, A broken heart, a fractured gift. Guilt may linger, but I’ll still breathe, Seeking purpose, though it’s hard to believe.
