I Rise With the Dawn

I awake at sunrise,
even when night has broken me.
Shadows whisper my failures,
but the sun sings my name
and I listen.

I walk with trembling steps,
but each step is a drumbeat,
a life tempo,
a chorus of hope.

I've carried storms inside my chest,
drowned in oceans of uncertainty,
yet here I stand
a lighthouse,
shining for the lost.

Every scar is a song,
every tear a note,
every breath a verse
in the anthem of becoming.

I am not my mistakes,
I am the second chance melody.
I am not my fears,
I am the fire that engulfs them.
I am not my past:
I am the horizon
wide, waiting, infinite.

Let the world attempt to silence me then.
I will wake at dawn.
I'll sing with the sun.
And I'll never give up until the sky itself claps for me
