Though now you are in lament,
As they treat you with contempt,
Take heed that even in times of torment,
There are vast lessons to be learnt.
Though much has been lost,
There is still much to gain.
Even though all seems in vain,
Let hope numb your brain.
Let courage guide your heart,
Strength is forged in fires of pain,
And hope will guide you through the rain.
Every struggle builds your might,
Turning darkness into light.
So rise with courage, stand your ground,
For brighter days will come around.
Believe in dreams that never cease,
And find your path to lasting peace.
