They call it a name I didn’t know,
A sudden tide, a heavy blow.
When the blood turned tired and the pressure rose,
I faced the fear that a mother knows.
The world went fast while I stood still,
Surrendering to a different will.
Between the labs and the IV lines,
I looked for hope in the smallest signs.
It stole the peace I thought I’d find,
And left a different strength behind.
A body scarred, a spirit mended,
A journey I never apprehended.
But I am here, and I am whole,
With a warrior’s heart and a survivor’s soul.
The storm has passed, the air is clear,
I’m breathing out the ghost of fear.
