From Shadows to Light

In shadows deep, where sorrow dwells,

A girl, forlorn, in silence fell.

Her heart, a storm, her mind a sea,

A tale of pain, of what could be.

The cruel winds whispered darkened names,

The boys, their laughter filled with shame.

Her youth betrayed, her spirit torn,

Beneath the weight, her soul was worn.

Her flesh, a canvas scarred and raw,

Each mark, a story of silent awe,

Of nights spent weeping, days in grief,

Of loss that none could bring relief.

And then came echoes of her past,

Of relatives who preyed so vast—

A childhood broken, trust betrayed,

Innocence in shadows laid.

But through the mist, a distant cry,

A flicker in her tear-filled eye.

She rose, though bruised and lost in strife,

Determined now to reclaim her life.

The path was long, the road was steep,

Through every wound, her soul would weep.

But still she walked, with steady grace,

A wounded heart could find its place.

Reconciliation, like a dawn,

Brought healing light where darkness shone.

No longer bound by others’ lies,

She spread her wings and touched the skies.

Now in her hands, her future’s bloom,

No longer defined by years of doom.

A girl once lost, now found, now free,

Her strength, her voice, her destiny.

Through every tear and every scar,

She learned to love, she learned to star.

From chains of pain, she broke away,

And found the light of a brand new day.
