New Dawn Rising

Whispers of the past, echoing in my mind,

Shadows of mistakes, I try to leave behind.

A battered soul, searching for the dawn,

Finding strength in knowing I can carry on.

Fallen down, but I get up again,

Lessons etched in scars, I feel the pain.

Bankrupt dreams, but hope’s not gone,

Building a new life from what’s been torn.

Use my scars as stepping stones,

Every tear, a seed I've sown.

The future’s waiting, just outside my door,

I’m learning how to soar.

Rising from the ashes, I find my way,

Through the sorrow, into brighter days.

Breaking the chains of yesterday,

I’m rebuilding, I’m reclaiming my place.

With every fall, I’ve learned to stand,

A new horizon in my hand.

The past’s a story, not my fate,

I’m forging paths, I’ll create.

Now I see the path ahead,

With hope and courage, trust instead.

Failing’s part of learning how to fly,

Stronger, wiser, reaching for the sky.
