''The Mirror Shows a Stranger's Gaze''

In shadows where the doubts take flight,

We stand alone, our truths to face,

In the quiet, we find our place.

The mirror shows a stranger's gaze,

Reflections caught in life's harsh blaze,

We wrestle with the ghosts of yore,

Confronting all we can’t ignore.

Through stormy nights and sleepless dawns,

We march ahead, though strength is drawn,

With every trial, a lesson learned,

In every scar, a fire burned.

Yet in this dance of clash and bind,

We forge the steel of heart and mind,

To face our fears, to stand and fight,

And turn our darkness into light.
