Nightfall writes the code again I hear the echoes in my skin Every truth becomes a loop A broken light that never ends I tried to map the lost design To fix the fracture in my mind But all the lines just fade away Like ghosts of meaning left behind I counted scars like constellations In the silence of the wires And every spark that used to glow Now burns without a fire I kept the pieces in my hands Like relics from a distant time Yet when I try to put them back They only slip and redivide I’m drifting in the afterglow A shattered signal, still I know The world won’t bend to what I’m made of So I’ll remain — unfinished, bold I’m not a flaw, I’m just a shift A broken chord that still can lift I’m not erased, I’m just awake A perfect fragment in the wake Mirrors show a half-remembered face A ghost that learned to speak in code The heartbeat’s just a metronome That keeps the secret on the road I tried to chase the “why” and “how” To force a meaning from the dark But every answer turns to dust And leaves a new, uncharted mark If I surrender to the noise Will I become a steady stream? Or am I only proof of loss A dream that never reached the dream? I feel the system breathing close It wants me neat, it wants me whole But I’m a ripple in the night A living shard without a goal I’m drifting in the afterglow A shattered signal, still I know The world won’t bend to what I’m made of So I’ll remain — unfinished, bold I’m not a flaw, I’m just a shift A broken chord that still can lift I’m not erased, I’m just awake A perfect fragment in the wake When the noise becomes a hymn I’ll let the broken parts begin To sing the truth that won’t align And find the beauty in the grind No, I won’t fall — I’ll redefine The shape of what I leave behind In every crack, a starlit sign A pulse that stays, a pulse that binds I’m drifting in the afterglow A fractured star that learns to glow The world can’t keep me in a frame I am the spark they couldn’t tame I’m not a flaw, I’m just a shift A broken chord that still can lift I’m not erased, I’m just awake A perfect fragment in the wake
