An Ode to Resilience and Inner Radiance

Don’t be so blinded by the darkness that you fail to see the stars.

Their glow may seem distant, but they still guide from afar.

Love deeply and fully—but keep a mindful guard,

For an unlatched soul invites wounds that can scar hard.

And when life creeps in and scorches you, leaving you charred,

Know this: there’s a hidden beauty etched within every scar.

The world may try to tell you that you’ll never reach the bar…

But don’t forget- it’s you who defines how high you are.

These trials aren’t here to trap you or keep you where you are.

Don’t settle for stillness when you were made to travel far.

Becoming who you’re meant to be? It’s really not that hard

Push through the shadows- your light is never far.

You’re still here. You’ve survived every battle thus far.

So own your beauty, you scarred, shining superstar.
