In the depths where whispers creep,

Fear’s cold fingers clutch and seep,

A battleground of silent screams,

Where hope flickers like broken dreams.

I stand, a warrior in the night,

With trembling heart, I seek the light,

Each doubt a demon, sharp and sly,

But I rise, I refuse to die.

The mirror cracks, reflections bleed,

Yet in that chaos, I plant a seed,

Roots of courage, fierce and bold,

In the soil of stories yet untold.

I face the monster, breath held tight,

Its breath is poison, its eyes ignite,

But I am fire, I am the storm,

With every heartbeat, I transform.

Each scar a medal, each tear a crown,

I wear my battles like a gown,

For in the struggle, I find my grace,

In the depths of fear, I carve my place.

So here I stand, unchained, alive,

In the heart of darkness, I thrive,

With fists of fury, I claim my ground,

In the echo of silence, my strength is found.

Fear, you’re just a shadow's play,

A fleeting ghost that fades away,

For I am more than what you see,

I am the storm, I am the sea.
