Rise from the Ash

I was lost, a voice with no sound, A heart in pain, a road unwound. But even in shadows, I found a glow, A fire still burning, though nothing would show. Loneliness trapped me deep in my mind, The pain of loss, the weight unkind. Searching for love, too afraid to trust, To open my heart, let go of the dust. My walls were high, my steps were small, But in the silence, I heard the call. The scars told the story of battles I fought, Each wound a reminder of lessons life taught. I rise from the ash, I fly higher than ever, Every fall was needed, every moment clever. I leave fear behind, I let the past go, I live, I breathe, and I let myself grow. Love brought me mirrors I didn’t want to see, My strength, my weakness, all that’s within me.
