Will I ever find release from the night's embrace, its shadowy clutch?
Will I ever stand tall in the blazing sun, unafraid and clear?
Will I ever taste freedom from the musty scent that fills my lungs?

I'll never break away.
I know my own worth.
You cannot define me.
I am not so feeble.
I am stronger than you think.
This is my reality.
I will rise above.
Believe in me.
This is who I am.
Yes, I am.

I stood solitary,
Although the reason eludes me.
My tiny hands reaching out into thin air,
Desperately seeking the comfort of your guiding touch.

So I fled,
Swiftly through the dense, hostile woods.
My legs straining under my delicate form,
Bearing the heavy load of my immense apprehensions.

At each twist and turn, I yearned for

your luminous presence to envelop me,
To shield me from the encroaching darkness,
And lead me back into the warm embrace of your love.
