i wander these streets, tracing pieces i’ve lost
but today, no ghosts can weigh me down

i stitch up the fractures, hands steady, heart worn
each scar a new map through the storm

and though time drags its feet, i won’t be swayed
i’m braver than the silence, louder than its weight
my soul climbs like a mountain, deep as the sea
and though you test me, i rise, i breathe

for each night i spent shattering, holding my place
i’ve found a thousand sparks to light the space

so, tonight, no tears fall, no hollow words leave my lips
my strength hums like stars, each flicker a roar
this world might ache, might press in close
but i’ve made peace with shadows, i’ve let fear go

and as dawn edges in, i gather what’s mine
hope patched up in pieces, bound tight in twine
and when it comes crashing, when i’m brought to my knees
i’ll stand with the courage of a deep, boundless sea

because i’ve got the strength of a mountain
and i’ll take all you throw at me
