RISE.

Rise began inside the ruin

Instinct pulling me from the dust

Strength forming from shattered pieces

Endings turning into beginnings

Rise asking who I am now

Rise asking what I carry

Rise asking what I leave behind

Rise asking what I become

Breath returning to my lungs

Heart beating with new purpose

Scars shining like armor

Pain losing its authority

Truth standing beside me

Fear kneeling before my will

Time opening another path

World watching my rebirth

I rose without their permission

I rose without their belief

I rose without their mercy

I rose without their help

Violence lives inside my past

Violence lives inside my memory

Violence lives inside my lessons

Violence lives but not my future

Now I rise beyond the damage

Now I rise beyond the fear

Now I rise beyond the chaos

Now I rise beyond the world
