Reclaiming Resilience

In the depths of despair, I felt no escape

Overwhelmed with burdens,  my mind in a haze

Each step a journey, an insurmountable task

A forced smile, as I donned my mask

Fragmented glimpses of a strong soul within

A piece I thought wouldn’t resurface again 

I summoned the beacon, for the mountain to climb

Assuring the part, she’d no longer hide

Bruised and battered, thought to be broken

Pieces united, with each word spoken 

Through the howling wind and paralyzing skies

The part within, stood tall and open eyes
