In shadows cast by life’s hand, I stood alone on desolate land.

Lost, forsaken, my heart bereft, trapped a world where bonds I once had left.

With weary steps, I tread that path, Where laughter once danced, I experianced silent wrath.

Isolation’s cloak tightened its hold, As sorrow’s whispers pierced my soul, bold.

Longing for connections, lost and gone, Yearning for love, yet feeling withdrawn,

But though the world may turn its back, Within me flickers strength, never to lack.

In solitude’s embrace, I found my voice, rising above, making a choice,

Finding solace in my own embrace, And rewriting the narrative, with grace.

Embracing me, proud and free, I discovered strength which is my key,

In acceptance, I found my worth, A being, now embracing my rebirth.

And as laughter resounds, Love’s gentle arms wrap me around,

Building family once more, a place of light and might, Together we conquer the darkest of night.

The past may fade, but hope shall remain, A token of love, erasing the pain.

So, let my wounds of yesteryear heal, With each sunrise, a renewed zeal,

For in the depths of despair, I find, Strength to rebuild, and leave pain behind.
