\"Ohh, where were you when I needed a hand to hold? The nights were cold, and the silence bold. I carried the weight, I carried the flame, But I don’t know who to blame, blame...\" I see fathers with their sons, teaching how to throw, But my lessons came from pain, learning how to grow. Every crack in the mirror tells a story untold, Of a kid building walls ‘cause the world felt cold. You left a blueprint, but the pages were torn, I built my house on dreams that were weather-worn. No shadow to follow, no shoes to fill, Just an empty space where the love should heal. I learned to tie my laces from falling down, Picked myself up every time I hit the ground. The void speaks loud when the world turns quiet, A storm inside, but I learned to hide it. They say strength is born from what we endure, But the scars on my soul don’t feel like a cure. What’s a king with no crown, a name with no throne? Just a boy in the world, learning to stand alone. \"Where were you when the nights turned gray? When the world got heavy, and I lost my way? Your silence was louder than words could say, I still feel it every day…\" Years later, I’m the man I had to create, But your absence lingers like a ghost in my fate. Every success feels like a question asked, Would you be proud, or just turn your back? They say forgiveness is the road to peace, But how can I forgive what you chose to release? A bond never formed, a story untold, I’m the author now, but the ink feels cold. I’ve made mistakes you never warned me about, Built my faith on whispers, surviving the doubt. No map for this journey, no compass to guide, Just a legacy of lessons from what you denied. But I still wonder, was it fear or pride? Did you see me struggling and choose to hide? I’m stronger now, but the question remains, Why’d you let me carry all of this pain? \"The echoes of what you never said, Fill the quiet spaces in my head. I’m not broken, but I’m not whole, Still chasing a shadow, still mending my soul…\" \"Where were you when the nights turned gray? When the world got heavy, and I lost my way? Your silence was louder than words could say, I still feel it every day…\"
