EMBRACE YOUR TRUTH

 EMBRACE YOUR TRUTH

In the quiet hours, when shadows lengthen,

Remember: Your pain is yours alone.

Those judgments, those whispered criticisms?

They fade like mist in the morning sun.

Who are they to dictate your heart's rhythm?

Their words are but leaves in the wind,

While your struggle is an ocean, deep and vast.

When the world grows heavy,

When your knees buckle under its weight,

Who catches you?

Not their opinions. Not their expectations.

It's your own strength that cradles you,

Your resilience that whispers, "Hold on."

In those raw moments of collapse,

Their thoughts are galaxies away.

Your journey is sacred, your battles hard-won.

Let their judgments roll off like water.

They haven't walked in your shoes,

Haven't felt the ache in your bones.

So stand tall in your truth.

Wear your scars like constellations.

Your story is yours to write,

Your path yours to forge.

Don't dim your light for those who fear the dark.

Don't shrink your spirit to fit their mold.

You are vast, you are deep, you are powerful.

Let them think what they may.

You know your worth.

And in the depths of night,

When the pain feels too much,

It's your own fierce spirit that holds you tight.

You are your own sanctuary.

You are your own strength.

And that, dear warrior, is utterly unbreakable.
