In shadows I found my strength,
A soul forged in darkness, fierce at length.
No longer bound by others\' sight,
I stand, unapologetic, a force of night.
I am the storm that brews, the fire that ignites,
Unwavering, unrelenting, a heart that beats with might.
I pledge to myself, to rise above the pain,
To own my truth, my power, my name.
No longer seeking validation, I am enough,
A phoenix risen, fierce, with claws and truth.
My intensity is my shield, my heart my guide,
I am the keeper of my soul, my spirit wild and free to reside.
