Where did the time go? It vanished in the haze

But I'm still here, stronger through the maze

Lost in the echoes, yet I find my ground

Where the pain fades, and resilience is found

Dust on the vinyl, spinning slow in the dark

Photos on the mantle, memories in the spark

Where did the time go? It slipped through my grip

Like water in my hands, each droplet, a trip

Echoes of laughter still haunt the halls

Ghosts of the past, graffiti on the walls

Clock hands whisper, tick-tock, they mock

I chase shadows, footsteps on the sidewalk

But the cracks in the mirror, they tell a tale

Of breaking, remaking, a soul set to sail

Where did the time go? It vanished in the haze

But I'm still here, stronger through the maze

Lost in the echoes, yet I find my ground

Where the pain fades, and resilience is found

Every tear's a seed, roots deep in my chest

From sorrow grows strength, in grief, I invest

Wounds stitched with fire, scars like tattoos

Each line a lesson, each bruise my muse

The nights were long, like a wolf's lone howl

But dawn broke fierce, painted gold on the cowl

Fought with my demons, they know my name

Now I wear my crown, unbowed by shame

Where did the time go? It vanished in the haze

But I'm still here, stronger through the maze

Lost in the echoes, yet I find my ground

Where the pain fades, and resilience is found.
