Written in My Hand

**[Intro – Whispered / Soft Piano]** I woke up this morning... But something felt wrong. Not like a nightmare... Like I was gone too long. *(Pages turning)* There's a story waiting for me... Written in my own hand. --- **[Verse 1]** I found a diary on my desk today Like it was waiting for me to wake I don't remember putting it there I don't remember the words on the page But my fingers know the cover Like I've held it a thousand times Every bend and every wrinkle Feels like a piece of my mind The handwriting is mine Every letter, every line But I swear I never wrote it So why does it feel like I survived it? --- **[Pre-Chorus – Darker / Lower Vocal]** You don't remember the nights you lost The battles hidden beneath the cost You call it missing, you call it gone But something inside you carried on --- **[Chorus]** Written in my hand A story I don't know Pages full of memories That I never chose to hold I thought I was broken I thought I disappeared But the parts I couldn't carry Were the ones that kept me here Written in my hand A voice beneath my own Holding all the pieces When I couldn't face them alone --- **[Verse 2]** Some pages are empty Like they were erased The days I remember Are the days that were saved The moments I was smiling The moments I felt alive The pages that are missing Are the ones I left behind I read about the shaking The tears I didn't see The nights I kept pretending That I was finally free And I want to be angry I want someone to blame But every word feels like a shelter Not a prison with my name --- **[Bridge – Whispered Inner Voice / Layered Vocals]** You asked why you can't remember... Because forgetting helped you breathe. You asked why you're so tired... Because you carried more than you could see. I wasn't here to hurt you. I wasn't here to take your place. I was holding all the pieces You were too afraid to face. --- **[Rap Section – Emotional / Dark Flow]** I kept the weight when you dropped it Held the pain when you locked it Every memory buried deep Every promise you forgot it You thought I was the reason You couldn't find your way But I was the quiet heartbeat That kept you through the days I took the nights you couldn't handle I carried what you denied I became the voice inside you When you had nowhere to hide Not a stranger in the mirror Not a shadow you should fear Just the part of you that stayed When nobody else was near --- **[Final Chorus – Bigger / Emotional]** Written in my hand Now I finally understand Every scar and every shadow Was a map of where I am I thought I was broken I thought I was lost But every piece I buried Was protecting me at a cost Written in my hand A story I can own I don't have to fight myself To finally feel whole --- **[Outro – Soft Whisper]** I close the diary... Not because I'm afraid. But because for the first time... I remember my name.
