In the shadow of a painful past,
A childhood marked by shadows cast.
In circumstances bleak and dire,
A young soul set afire.
A family’s tumult, a school unkind,
A life in chaos, no peace to find.
In the face of a challenging past’s design,
I’ll shape my destiny, no longer defined.
Though my upbringing was far from bright,
I’ll strive to set my spirit alight.
With the strength within my core,
I’ll rise and seek something more.
I won’t let the darkness hold my sway,
I’ll forge a different path today.
For I’m not bound by what’s been done,
My journey’s just begun.
In the face of adversity and strife,
I’ll carve a life imbued with light.
I’ll break the chains of history’s grasp,
And in my future, I’ll find my clasp.
A negative past will not dictate,
The choices that I’ll now create.
I’ll reinvent myself, unchained and free,
A better future, just watch and see.
