I know I stayed for a reason, only time could tell.

I am learning how everything that I speak becomes a spell.

All that I want is within reach.

It has become my newfound niche.

Feeling sorry for myself, now belongs on the unreachable, tall shelf.

What should have left scars, are just a knick.

I am resilient, I bounce back quick.

I now speak with confidence and strong purpose...

to remind myself that darkness is an undaunted abyss.
