Road to Recovery

[Verse 1]
Some nights I couldn’t breathe at all
Held my head up just to fall
Fought with shadows no one saw
Smiled in public, broke the law —
Of my own silence, of my own shame
Told myself I liked the pain

[Pre-Chorus]
But rock bottom has a voice
It told me I still had a choice

[Chorus]
This is my road to recovery
Messy, loud, but it’s finally me
I’m not broken — I’m alive
And I’m learning how to survive
Every scar has a story to tell
I faced the mirror, I faced my hell
Now I breathe with clarity
This is my fight for mental health and recovery

[Verse 2]
Used to think I had to hide
Every fear locked deep inside
But strength is not in staying numb
It’s saying, “Help,” when you come undone

[Pre-Chorus]
The dark don’t own me anymore
I found a light behind the door

[Chorus]
This is my truth, my reckoning
Not a hero — just a human being
I still stumble, I still fall
But I know now I can crawl
Out of the weight I used to drown
Out of the pills that pulled me down
No more shame, no secrecy
This is my stand — for mental health and recovery

[Bridge]
If you’re listening, if you feel alone
Please believe you’re not on your own
We are the ones who made it through
We’re still standing — and so can you

[Final Chorus]
This is our fight, our unity
A voice for pain and dignity
We’re not broken, we are brave
We choose life and we choose to stay
Every tear was part of me
But healing is my legacy
Say it loud and say it free —
This is for mental health and recovery
