In the depths of my soul, burdens are faced,
Yet amidst the struggles, my spirit finds grace.
With tenacity, I cling to life's edge,
Guided by stars in their fiery pledge.
The sun may waver, the moon may dim,
Reflecting my dreams, fragile and slim.
Madness tempts me, through winding ways,
But distant horizons demand my full days.
In the sanctum of my heart, a flame burns true,
Painting my uniqueness amidst shadows' hue.
No one can snatch this identity from my grip,
My odyssey of courage, resilience on the lips.
Time is fleeting, so don't waste it in vain,
Living for others, whispers that drain.
Listen to your heart, let intuition guide,
For they know who you are, what heights you'll stride.
And remember, time heals, but don't remain
In pain's grip, release, don't let it retain.
Treat love with kindness, as precious as gold,
For it's not a toy, but a treasure to hold.
