In the quiet corners of my mind,
Echoes of pain once roamed free,
Shadows of despair intertwined,
With whispers of who I used to be.

Each tear a testament to strife,
Yet within, a spark of light,
Fighting through the darkest night,
To reclaim a hopeful life.

Gentle hands of time caress,
Scars of battles fought within,
Embracing moments of distress,
With a strength born deep within.

Now I rise, renewed in grace,
A warrior of my own making,
Finding peace in every place,
Where once my heart was breaking.
