Through the ashes
Years ago, I lived in a tormenting darkness;
I was lost, broken, defeated, and afraid.
I knew I had to be strong, for I was alone-
With the moon and the stars as my companions.
I walk these pathless ways, paralyzed by fear;
Sometimes I feel that nothing remains but my tears.
Pain streams down my face, yet I step forward;
Your absence torments me, yet I look ahead.
I live a half-life: a happy joyful pain;
My soul may shatter—yet I live, I burn, I feel.
There are days when doubt arises: why do I fight?
These are times, I feel like a shadow amidst the light.
My heavy chains bind cruelly; I am afraid alone.
I often doubt the bright future, I’m losing hope.
Flames tear at me, pain streams down my face,
blood washes my path; my very existence is at stake.
Sweet dreams and the light still burn within my heart;
no one can take my life—the strength lives on in me.
Flames tear at me, pain streams down my face,
blood washes my path; my very existence is at stake.
Sweet dreams and the light still burn within my heart;
no one can take my life—the strength lives on in me.
My long journey crosses paths with other souls—
Some vastly different, others remarkably similar.
They enrich my life, bringing blessings or lessons.
I cherish their presence, for each one matters.
I want no shouting, hatred, or toxic nights;
Spare me the racism and conspiracy theories.
I don’t consider myself superior; I simply still find joy.
I do not hate the world; to me, not everything is empty.
My aim is not to judge, humiliate, or hurt you,
But merely to set boundaries to protect myself.
Even if I lose you, you won’t drag my soul into the dark.
If we walk the same path, then together we shall rise.
Every day is a battle, emptiness, and loneliness;
Thus my heart lives, thus it dies a thousand deaths.
Flames tear at me, pain streams down my face,
blood washes my path; my very existence is at stake.
Sweet dreams and the light still burn within my heart;
no one can take my life—the strength lives on in me.
Flames tear at me, pain streams down my face,
blood washes my path; my very existence is at stake.
Sweet dreams and the light still burn within my heart;
no one can take my life—the strength lives on in me.
Look at yesterday, await tomorrow, but live in the now;
Plan, live, and thrive—let your desires drive you forward.
Make your dreams come true; you deserve to be happy.
Nothing truly passes; everything is a new beginning.
