**I wandered through a hollow haze,**

**Where time stood still, the nights unkind.**

**Each step a question, paths ablaze,**

**Yet answers seemed too far to find.**

**The weight of doubt, a heavy shroud,**

**Pressed tightly on my aching chest.**

**I stumbled, lost within the crowd,**

**No peace, no hope, no time to rest.**

**But then a whisper, soft and clear,**

**It pierced the dark, a sudden flare.**

**Not from without, but somewhere near,**

**A quiet truth beyond compare.**

**It said, “The strength you seek is yours,**

**The light you chase already burns.**

**Each broken step has opened doors,**

**Each scar is where your wisdom learns.”**

**And with those words, the shadows broke,**

**The world transformed before my eyes.**

**The air grew warm, the heavens spoke,**

**Their stars like lanterns in the skies.**

**I saw the beauty in my pain,**

**The purpose hidden in the strife.**

**Each tear had watered hope’s domain,**

**Each trial gave breath to fuller life.**

**No longer lost, no longer small,**

**I stand where earth and sky align.**

**The revelation gave its call—**

**The power I sought was always mine.**
