This song is dedicated to those that have survived any sort of trauma, particularly if it comes from the hands of others. I am submitting this for the Express Yourself Contest 2026 Electronic-Forward Round. It is a blend of Trap, Trance, and Hardwave.

Spoken Vocals (Written, recorded, and processed by myself):

The axe forgets, what the tree remembers.
You don't remember me, do you?

It would be easier to hate,
to allow myself to be consumed by spite,
but if I followed that trail,
I would only continue your path of destruction.
To break free, I had to forgive myself.
I thought that I deserved everything you did to me,
but I soon realized,
That was only a symptom of your manipulation.

No longer will I be silenced,
A survivor.

The axe forgets, what the tree remembers.
No longer will I be silenced,
A survivor,
Still standing.
