From Rags to Resilience

In the shadows, I felt so small,

Living in a world that couldn’t hear my call.

But I held on tight, to dreams in the night,

Whispers of hope, glimmers of light.

Empty pockets, dreams of gold,

Every cent felt like a story untold.

Beneath the weight, I learned to survive,

Fighting the tide, just to stay alive.

But in the darkest nights, I found my way,

A flicker of fire that refused to sway.

With every setback, I stood up tall,

The heart of a lion, I’d never fall.

‘Cause it’s a long road, but I’m closer now,

From the depths of despair, I wear my crown.

I’ve tasted the struggle, now I taste the sweet,

This life I’m building, it’s mine to keep.

Days turned to nights, and dreams into plans,

Building from nothing with these weary hands.

Brick by brick, I’ve forged my home,

From rags to riches, no longer alone.

With every failure, I rose like a flame,

Refusing to play this losing game.

A heart so fierce, I’ll never be tamed,

Breaking the chains, I’ve finally claimed.

‘Cause it’s a long road, but I’m closer now,

From the depths of despair, I wear my crown.

I’ve tasted the struggle, now I taste the sweet,

This life I’m building, it’s mine to keep.

The laughter and tears, they made me whole,

Turning my dreams into rock and roll.

Now when I rise, I will never forget,

The fire inside that ignited my debt.

‘Cause it’s a long road, but I’m closer now,

From the depths of despair, I wear my crown.

I’ve tasted the struggle, now I taste the sweet,

This life I’m building, it’s mine to keep.

So here’s to the battles, the wars we fought,

In the lessons learned, resilience taught.

I’m standing tall, and I’m finally free,

This journey of mine is the best part of me.
