Fear not the weight upon your chest,
the heaviest burdens forge the best.
Steel is born where fire has been,
and strength begins beneath the skin.
Fear not the voices steeped in doubt,
they’ve never walked the path you’re out.
Each step you take, though rough and wide,
proves power walks right at your side.
Fear not the cracks within your soul,
they prove you’re strong, and still are whole.
Shaped by fire, calm as rain,
you hold the storm, unbound by chain.
Fear not the days you feel unsure,
your courage stands, both strong and pure.
And though the climb is steep and slow,
you’re made of more than you may know.
Let the world rage, and still you rise,
its fiercest storms won’t cloud your skies.
For deep within, your truth is known,
you are the mountain – not the stone.
(To the spirit that never breaks. May you never doubt your light within.)
