In moments of doubt, I remind myself,
I'm not defined by my weakness, nor by stealth.
Fear may grip, but it doesn't define,
In every battle, my spirit will shine.

Battered and broken, scars I bear,
Yet through these cracks, light finds it's share.
I'm more than this, I tell myself true,
Limitless potential within, waiting to pursue.

I can be anything, choose my own fate,
But it starts with belief, it starts with faith.
In depths of despair, I find my decree,
Darkness fades, for light will always be.

So I lift my head, face the unknown,
Knowing within me, seeds of strength are sown.
For in the ebb and flow, the rise and fall,
I am resilient, I stand tall.
