In the quiet of the night, I find my strength,
A beacon of light, unwavering and bright,
Through storms that rage and shadows that dance,
My heart beats steady, my spirit takes flight.

Each step I take, with purpose and pride,
I carve my path, no longer to hide,
The whispers of doubt, I cast them aside,
In the mirror’s gaze, my true self resides.

With courage unfaltering, I rise each day,
Embracing the journey, come what may,
The world may challenge, but it cannot sway,
The fire within, that guides my way.

So here I stand, unbowed and free,
A testament of what it means to be,
To love oneself, to truly see,
The power of pride, the essence of me.
