Ode to Resilience

                                              

Beneath the weight of life's despair,

A seed of hope begins to stir.

Through sorrow's veil, a flicker fair,

The birth of strength and will to persevere.

Anchored by roots of fortitude,

With heart adorned in courage's hue,

I face the storm with head held high,

And watch the waves of fear subside.

A warrior's spirit thrives in strife,

Transforming pain to wings of flight,

My wounds, a testament to life,

Each scar a shining beacon bright.

No matter how the tempest roars,

I bend and sway, but never break,

My soul reborn with every blow,

A beacon for the path I take.

In strength, I find my victory,

Through tears, I see with clarity,

Resilient, standing tall and free,

An anthem of humanity.
