In the quiet corners of a restless mind
Lies a story untold, a past unkind
Wounds that whisper in the night
Seeking solace, yearning for light
The heart bears scars, deep and wide
Yet within, a strength abides
A flicker of hope, a gentle call
To rise again, to stand tall
Through the shadows, a path appears
Guided by courage, shedding fears
Each step forward, a healing embrace
A journey of grace, at its own pace
The soul, resilient, begins to mend
Finding peace in the love of a friend
In the warmth of the sun, the song of the rain
A reminder that joy can follow pain
The past, a chapter, not the whole tale
A canvas for growth, where dreams prevail
In the dance of life, a chance to heal
To rediscover the beauty, to feel
Letting go of the burdens, the chains
Embracing the freedom that remains
With each breath, a promise anew
To honor the self, to be true
In the tapestry of time, wounds may fade
Leaving behind the strength they've made
A testament to the spirit's will
To rise, to love, to heal
