Snow and Strength

Cold winds blow, I remember still,

That night in your house, it was all downhill.

You laughed so loud, with your friends in sight,

But inside my heart, it was all wrong that night.

You kicked me out like a stray, forgotten,

Your words like daggers, my spirit was rotten.

In front of the girls, you played your cruel game,

“Look at her,” you shouted, “she's the one to blame.”

But I stood my ground, you crossed a line,

With fire inside, I would not resign.

I slapped you hard, twice on your face,

But through your grin, I knew—no trace of grace.

You thought it was funny, you thought it was sweet,

Using your words just to knock me off my feet.

In the snow, I fell, but I wouldn't break,

With every push, it was my soul at stake.

Now I see your laughter, it was just a disguise,

A shield for your weakness, a cover of lies.

But I’m rising up while the winter winds blow,

You may have pushed me down, but you can’t steal my glow.

I won’t be the fool that you made me out to be,

No puppet on strings, I’m finally free.

With every cold glance that you threw my way,

I’ll gather my strength, and I’ll learn to stay.

Because I'm more than your jokes and your twisted games,

Beyond all your whispers—beyond all the shame.

You thought it was funny, you thought it was sweet,

Using your words just to knock me off my feet.

In the snow, I fell, but I wouldn't break,

With every push, it was my soul at stake.

So laugh if you want, with your girls all around,

But remember my heart—it’s no longer bound.

I’ll rise from the snow, with the strength of a storm,

This girl you betrayed will be reborn.
