Rise Above the Struggles

In the depths of darkness, a soul does dwell,
An 18-year-old girl, facing a battle so well,
Battling her demons, depression's cruel embrace,
Seeking peace in this chaotic place… 

Study pressure weighs heavy on weary shoulders,
Dreams and ambitions feel like exploders!! 
But within this struggle, a fire starts to grow, 
Telling her to go with the flow.. 

Parents' expectations weigh heavy on the soul,
But remember, dear one, you are in control.. 

Career confusion casts its daunting spell,
Ambitions clash, creating a stormy swell,
Yet within the confusion, passion ignites,
A beacon of hope, shining so bright.

Sometimes Overthinking comes in the brain, 
Just like storms comes in the rain… 
But within this storm, a fire burns bright… 
A spirit unyielding, ready to fight… 

With a smile on her face, she takes on the fight,
Brightening the world with her infectious light… 
So let her be an inspiration to us all,
To keep fighting, even when we feel small.. 

Rise above the struggles that try to define,
Don't Overthink baby.. Coz u always shine.. 
Believe in yourself coz you hold the key,
To unlock a future where you're truly free.
