Echoes of Resilient Sorrow
Posted: 23 Jun 2023, 12:24
Red stripes on my back, a testament to the pain
The violence in my life, never sparing the rod again
The hurt inside me, hidden from plain sight
At every wrong step, they'd bury me out of sight
But at the right ones, they'd double-check my background
No trust in the journey, only the scars that surround
Told a tough skin isn't enough to see you through
But my resilience runs deep, like an ocean so true
The tumor ate my mum from the inside-out
A reminder that life's precious, without a shadow of a doubt
Weathered many storms, even in the darkest of days
But life's not the weather, it's more than just a phase
The future remains uncertain, with each step I take
But I'll keep moving forward, whatever it may take
My scars don't define me, they only make me stronger
A survivor of life's battles, a warrior for much longer.
