Today, I remember my darkest hours,
When life seemed filled with pain,
Day I found strength within my heart,
To rise above the mess and rain.
I bear the scars of a painful past,
Of moments I wish I could erase,
But through it all, I have learned to stand,
With a spirit no one can deface.
Each tear shed has made me strong,
Every wound has shaped my soul,
I refuse to let the darkness win,
For within me, a fire does now glow.
Through the shadows of despair,
I discovered my inner light,
A beacon of hope, burning bright,
Guiding me through the darkest night.
Though my journey has been rough,
And my heart has felt the strain,
I have found solace in my own voice,
A warrior ready to reclaim.
No longer will I hide in fear,
Or let my spirit be confined,
I will rise above the mess I have faced,
And let my true strength unwind.
For I am more than just a victim,
I am a survivor, strong and brave,
I will empower others with my story,
To let them know they too can be saved.
To those drowning in their mess,
Hold on tight and do not let go,
There is a message in your struggle,
A strength within you, waiting to grow.
Never lose hope, my dear friend,
For you are not defined by your past,
Embrace the scars and let them shine,
For they tell a story that will forever last.
You are a warrior, bold and fierce,
With the power to rise above,
In your mess, you will find your message,
And reclaim a life filled with love.
