But one day, I’ll walk away
Not bitter, just awake.
For the heart learns peace, not revenge,
And silence becomes its victory song.
I will not curse the pain that grew me,
Nor the shadows that taught me light.
I have danced with sorrow and called it teacher,
I have dined with loss and still tasted life.
The chains they built were only lessons,
The tears they caused became my sea.
I sailed across my own becoming,
And found that freedom lived in me.
When I leave, I’ll leave with peace,
With laughter resting on my face.
For love, unbroken, walks beside
And I, reborn, no longer hide.
