In the horrible shadows of betrayal, I found a spark,
A flicker of light in the dark.
To trust in oneself, to hold one’s own hand,
To rise above the ashes, to take a stand.
For in the mirror, I saw my own worth,
A treasure within, since my day of birth.
No longer reliant on external praise,
I’ll navigate life’s turbulent maze.
I’ll set my own course, chart my own way,
Embracing each challenge that comes my way.
For in the end, it’s me I must please,
And in my own heart, I’ll find the keys.
To unlock the doors of self-love and care,
To nurture my soul, to be aware.
No longer seeking validation from afar,
I’ll cherish the light that shines in the star.
So let the past fade into the night,
For in my own story, I’ll find the light.
I’ll be the hero, the poet, the sage,
Crafting my own destiny on life’s stage.
