Life’s path, when it seems rough and the destination far,
Faith within me ignites a hero with a scar.
These scars narrate stories of perseverance
Even in moments when I feel vulnerable
To keep going, doing my duty with love and quiet assurance
Even when situations are unfavorable.
Embracing the journey and weaving the tale,
Self-reflection and relearning may take attempts, but are never a fail.
Turning roadblocks into opportunities to embrace,
Understanding each of us has our own timeline and we are not in a race.
In this movie named life, the different roles we play,
Moments may fade, but the lessons stay.
Inner heroism is accepting broken pieces without self-blame,
Not feeling inferior, not shrinking in shame.
Fighting our best, patting our backs for trying,
And emerging as warriors quietly defying.
Tough times are just a pause before we leap,
Still, miles to go before I sleep!!!
