That last line keeps coming back to me: there's still a voice I haven't killed. Because it's not resignation. It's still fighting, just quieter, which somehow matters more. The survival piece, not the surrender. Do you have more work like this published here?

They keep killing all my dreams
In silence, I keep fighting back
While everything inside me screams
I can't speak, but you can talk to my wounds
They've made me whisper to so many moons
It's a constant brood
And every night leaves another stain
A little more silence, a little more pain
I wear my failures underneath my skin
Like something broken I can never mend
I keep searching for a reason to remain
But every answer sounds the same
So let the darkness speak for me
Let it crawl beneath my skin
I am tired of fighting shadows
That I know I cannot win
But somewhere underneath the noise
There's still a voice I haven't killed
And if I can't believe in tomorrow
I'll just survive until I will

Wait, so the wounds have a voice? I'm not sure what that means but I kind of love that line.

The voice I haven't killed. That's the part I keep coming back to.

I keep coming back to that line about whispering to the moons. The fighting back part, too. There's something real in that.
