Remain

In the quiet shadows, my doubts begin to swell
Soft, melancholic chords echo a fearful knell
I hesitate at the threshold of the unknown
Clinging to the comfort that my past has shown

The beat slows down, mirroring my inner strife
A battle of emotions that cuts like a knife
Uncertain whispers murmur: Stay safe, remain
Yet a hidden courage whispers through the pain

The silence of hesitation fuels an inner war
Each heartbeat defies the fear I can't ignore
A spark within fights to break the binding chain
Calling me forward despite the lingering strain
