In the mirror’s silent gaze, a story unfolds,
Where whispers of doubt are often told.
Yet beneath the surface, a strength resides,
A spirit unbroken, where true beauty hides.

Words of others, like shadows, may fall,
Casting their darkness, trying to enthrall.
But in the heart’s chamber, a light persists,
Defying the echoes that never desist.

In every scar, a tale of resilience lies,
A testament to battles faced under the skies.
With each step forward, courage takes flight,
Transforming the darkness into radiant light.

So rise, dear soul, with grace and pride,
Let not the world your spirit deride.
For in your essence, a truth profound,
A beauty unshaken, eternally unbound.
