Resilience in the Shadows

Deep breath in, find my strength again

Stories etched deep, where do I begin?

Caught in a dark past I can't forget

Survivor's shadow, I won't forget

Childhood was shattered in a night so cold

Parents fallen, stories untold

A lesson taught harsh, beneath the crime

Stolen lives, lost in time

But I rise from the ashes, carry the pain

Healing through the scars, I won't wane

Friend at the door, a glimmer of grace

In this chaos, her familiar face

Story turned into my song of hope

From the depths I learn to cope

Through the darkness, I find my way

A new dawn breaks after the gray

Memories haunt in silent screams

Haunted by yesterday's dreams

But I stand tall, break free from the night

Guided by a flickering light

Though the past tried to define me

I forge my path, I am free

Friend with kindness, a guiding star

In my story, she is who you are

Story turned into my song of hope

From the depths I learn to cope

Through the darkness, I find my way

A new dawn breaks after the gray

Lessons learned in shadows deep

Promises made, I will keep

Survivor's strength, my shield and sword

Writing new chapters, moving toward

Deep breath in, I face my story

A tale of pain, resilience, glory

Friend by my side, guiding me through

Turning my story into something new
