Rise of the Chef Within

Tonight, I stand on the edge of a new dawn,

Knife in hand, memories linger, but I move on.

From three stars to the streets, it’s a different kind of pride,

Cooking for hope, with a fire I can't hide.

Once a master behind the shining stove,

Dish after dish, I built my world, my home.

But shadows crept, and pride was tested,

Lost in the darkness, my spirit arrested.

Now the dawn whispers softly, calling me back,

A journey of healing, closing the black.

Every chop, every slice, a step toward grace,

Rebuilding my soul in this sacred place.

Awaken the chef within, ignite the fire,

Channel the force, lift me higher.

Slice through the past, recreate from pain,

Cooking with hope, I’ll rise again.

From broken to stronger, each scar a story,

Turning my battle into a new glory.

In every stir, in every flavor I bring,

Find my purpose, find my wings.

With every plate I serve, I reclaim my art,

One step closer to healing my heart.

Tonight I fight, tonight I ascend,

The chef within, my will to mend.
