in the darkness of
a moonlit
night
a cry desperation
a soul's silent plea
but through the pain
and the tears
a story of strength flickering into light
a will to live start to
ignite
surviving in the shadows rising high above the cinders
a song of triumph a testament of love
from the deep depths of despair I found my way
the pain may
linger
and scars may long remain
I'm learning to find solace
in the strength
I've regained
with tears as my witness
and a blade in my hand
I faced the abyss and relearned how to stand
