Silent rooms, where shadows creep, Mother’s jaw locked, secrets she’d keep. No stories told, but I felt their weight, Her mother’s pain, it shaped my fate. Flinch at a shout, scan for the storm, Ancestral wounds in my body’s form. Not just mine, these scars I bear, Echoes of pain in the unspoken air. From cells to soul, I’m learning to see, The truth I face sets my spirit free. Echo of the unspoken, it runs so deep, Carried through time, in the bones I keep. No more hiding, I’ll name what’s there, Breaking the silence, I’m learning to care. Echo of the unspoken, I’ll face the pain, To heal the past, I’ll rewrite the chain. Her sobriety fought, a cycle she broke, But tension lingered in the words she spoke. Love felt earned, not a gift to claim, I learned her fear, carried her shame. Yet in my heart, I feel it still, A call to heal, a deeper will. Not just mine, these scars I bear, Echoes of pain in the unspoken air. From cells to soul, I’m learning to see, The truth I face sets my spirit free. Echo of the unspoken, it runs so deep, Carried through time, in the bones I keep. No more hiding, I’ll name what’s there, Breaking the silence, I’m learning to care. Echo of the unspoken, I’ll face the pain, To heal the past, I’ll rewrite the chain. DNA holds what stories can’t say, Trauma’s mark in a quiet way. But I’m not bound by what came before, I’ll name the ghosts, open the door. With every truth I choose to meet, I break the past, make my heart complete. Echo of the unspoken, it runs so deep, Carried through time, in the bones I keep. No more hiding, I’ll name what’s there, Breaking the silence, I’m learning to care. Echo of the unspoken, I’ll face the pain, To heal the past, I’ll rewrite the chain. No more shadows, just a heart that’s clear, Truth’s in the naming, it’s always here. I’m not the wounds that my ancestors bore, I’m the choice to heal, to love, to soar. Echo unspoken… I’m free, I’m whole.
