Rising from the Ashes

There's a heartbeat deep in the silence. A sacred drum that never stopped.

Even when they tried to dim your spirit. You held the spark,

they couldn't lock. Every wound became a teacher. Every tear a trail of light.

You've been breaking through the shadows. Learning how to take back night. You are not

the things they told you. Not the fear they try to sow.

You are oceans, you are stardust. You are more than you can know.

They try to smother the flame, but embers grew brighter. Your courage fed

the fire, stronger, higher. You rise every morning.
