Your scars became invisible companions,
whispering that every wound
is the birthplace of a diamond.
Pain was never your greatest gift.
It was the fire that tested me.
I often wondered
whether you were suffocating my spirit,
or simply teaching me how to breathe through the storm?
Then I understood.
A savior does not always arrive
to rescue us from the battle.
Sometimes, a savior awakens
the warrior already sleeping within.
You shaped an enemy out of broken memories.
You bruised my heart,
yet my mind refused to surrender.
It gathered every shattered piece
and forged them into strength.
I wandered through fairy-tale dreams
only to wake inside haunting nightmares.
Yet even in the darkest corners of my mind,
hope stood quietly beside me.
Years passed.
The masks dissolved like morning mist,
revealing the truth that had waited all along.
The savior was never someone else.
It was the warrior soul
I had carried within me from the very beginning.
