I Choose to Rise”

I defined myself when the world tried to name me,

I found my strength when the storms tried to break me.

I’ve been low, I’ve been lost, I’ve been tired inside,

But something in my soul still said, “Stand. Survive.”

I won’t disappear when the nights feel long,

I’ve come too far to prove them wrong.

Every scar I carry, every tear I’ve cried,

Built the fire I keep alive.

I’ve learned that strength is staying,

Even when giving up feels near.

I will never give up — I choose to rise,

I’ll stand in the truth of my own life.

I’ll stand by you when you can’t believe,

Be the reason someone hopes again and breathes.

I’ll be the fire, I’ll be the spark,

I’ll be the light inside the dark.

When the world feels heavy and you’re losing sight,

Hold on to me —

I’ll rise again, and I’ll bring the light.

I’ve seen what silence can do to a heart,

I’ve felt the weight when everything falls apart.

So I won’t turn away when someone feels weak,

Because I know what it’s like not knowing how to speak.

If you’re standing on the edge, barely holding on,

Let this be the moment you stay strong.

You don’t need to have it all figured out,

You just need one reason to not back down.

Sometimes hope is borrowed,

Until you find your own again.

I will never give up — I choose to rise,

Even when the fear is loud inside.

I’ll stand by you when you feel unseen,

Be the reason someone dares to dream.

I’ll be the fire, I’ll be the spark,

I’ll be the light inside the dark.

When your strength is gone and your faith feels thin,

Lean on me —

We’ll rise again.

I rise for the days I almost quit.

I rise for the pain I survived in silence.

I rise for the version of me that stayed,

Even when walking away felt safer.

And if my light helps you see,

Then this journey meant something to me.

I will never give up — I choose to rise,

With courage burning in my eyes.

I’ll stand tall, I’ll stand true,

Be the spark that pulls someone through.

I’ll be the fire, I’ll be the spark,

I’ll be the light inside the dark.

No matter how many times I fall or bend,

I will rise again.

I defined myself.

I stayed.

I rose.

And I’ll keep being the light —

For myself…

And for anyone who needs it.
