Days grew heavier,
Nights stretched longer,
My heart, burdened—
Drifting, lost,
Aimlessly searching through the blur.

Then I found you.
Resting in your shadow,
Watching, learning—
You kept moving,
And in your motion, you lifted me.

You broke my chains,
Showed me how to rise.
No longer bound,
No longer afraid—
Inspired.
Growing.
Free.
