Fire That Burns Still

Echoes of a broken past, flames still flicker inside

Stories etched in time, where trust was denied

I gave my all, went the extra mile for you

Thought I found a mentor, someone to reconcile to

But your eyes held envy, a cold disguise

Betrayed my trust, cut me deep with lies

Nights restless, shadows cast my doubt

Lost in dismay , trying to find my way out

But a spark inside, refused to die

Through growth I finally realized, I found my worth and started to believe.

I told myself this will never happen again, that young woman now has thick armour

From ashes I rise, reclaiming my glory

You lit a fire, that burns still bright

Standing stronger, owning my right

Face may change, but the pain remains

Lessons learned, breaking the chains

Now I see through the disguise

My worth shining through my eyes

The past may haunt, but I’ve moved on

A new dawn breaks, a brand new song

Never again, I stand tall and free

This is my truth, my victory
