I no longer possess the strength,
My will has been denied.
Held captive by the grip of fear,
I’ve struggled in this never-ending pursuit.
Yet quiet voices rustle in the depths of my spirit.
A far-off resonance, a concealed aspiration.
I reach out for brightness in the midst of despair.
I need to save myself from impending disaster.
Pain is abundant on the journey back.
Every progress made feels like a link in a chain.
Yet, beneath the surface, a flame is ablaze.
My heart recognizes a glimmer of hope.
I collect fragments of broken self-esteem.
I’ll reveal everything, one fragment at a time.
Within my vulnerability lies great strength.
An unseen force, a concealed source.
Even if the skies are gray, I will rise once more.
Grasp the radiance of a pristine day.
Even in the face of trials and approaching darkness,
Despite the gloom, I’ll reclaim my power.
