War Within, Peace Beyond

Whispers of a broken land, echoes in my mind

Silent battles, I fight every day, trying to find

A peace within the storm, a light that still remains

Life’s internal wars, breaking chains, breaking chains

Born where the mangoes fall, scent of earth and pain

Child of Liberia, dreams washed in rain

Civil echoes haunting, history’s silent cry

Now fighting within, asking me why

One war outside, loud and fierce

The other inside, quiet tears

In the battlefield of my own skin

Both teach me how to begin again

Choose to move forward, leave behind the fears

Nothing to lose when hope appears

Between two wars, I stand tall

Rising above it all

From mango trees to hospital beds, stories intertwine

Fighting battles unseen, fighting to redefine

Fear taught me courage, illness taught me grace

Both shaping me into this resilient face

One war outside, loud and fierce

The other inside, quiet tears

In the battlefield of my own skin

Both teach me how to begin again

Choose to move forward, leave behind the fears

Nothing to lose when hope appears

Between two wars, I stand tall

Rising above it all

This war inside, a testament to strength

A prayer in silence, going to any length

For the soul that heals, for the spirit that soars

Knowing life is worth fighting for

Mangoes fall, peace calls my name

From war-torn lands to healing’s flame

In faith I find my victory

Living proof of liberty
