I Grew, But Not Forward - Niko Jarell
The walls remember every sound
A laughter lost and hopes unbound
Soft piano drips, a quiet stream
Playing fragments of old dreams
I've changed, yet somehow stay the same
Walking circles with a different name
The path I thought would set me free
Leads me back inside of me
I thought growth meant leaving past
But some shadows always last
I grew but not forward still
Caught between the light I've been through
With the love I tried to hold
With the words I left untold
Days move on, I stand confined
Learning how to free my mind
I grew but not forward just
Keeping what I need to trust
Subtle bass hums under skin
A quiet weight I've carried in
Edits ends like drifting smoke
Wrap around the words I never spoke
I've learned to breathe to face the night
But some nights steal the softest light
Every silence knows my plight
Every calm is lightly tight
I let go of who I knew
But echoes still remind me true
I grew but not forward still
Caught between the light I've been through
With the love I tried to hold
With the words I left untold
Days move on, I stand confined
Learning how to free my mind
I grew but not forward just
Keeping what I need to trust
Is moving on what is meant to heal
Why does time refuse to steal
The traces of what shaped my way
Some hearts remain where they sway
I grew but not forward now
Learning to face the here and how
The pain is soft, the heart survives
I'm still here, still alive
Piano fades, I remain
Not ashamed of what sustains
I grew but not forward and that's okay
It proves I lived along the way
Time didn't push me
But it let me stay
