**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.**
