Unseen Strength

a masquerade

By JustisePublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

In life's grand theater, Sophie stood, Her heart a lock, sorrows a brood. In the crowd of love, she dwelt alone, A solitary island in joy’s cyclone.

Her world was an unending twilight's spell, Where the calming sun bid a somber farewell. Her joy retreated beyond the horizon's crest, While her heart housed a storming tempest.

A glimmer of dawn arose by chance, In the form of a therapeutic dance. In the harmony of shared quests and tales, Her solitude found soothing gales.

Her journey was not a striking bolt, But a river’s gentle flow to the ocean’s vault. The therapy's light began to imbue, Her tangled thoughts with shades of clarity’s hue.

Her relationships, no longer cages of fright, Became anchors of support, her guiding light. Her world changed its spectral array, Shadows of yesteryears gave way to a brighter day.

Sophie's life now plays a hopeful tune, Gleaming like a steadfast moon. Her story’s shared as a guiding ray, Echoing, "In seeking help, comes strength’s ballet.”

In resilience, she found her crusade's key, Demonstrating it's gallant to acknowledge one's fragility. Her story now ripples across waves of time, Whispering to troubled souls - shadows give way to sun's climb.
