I Fuel My Courage! Poem by Zaheera Shaik Alli

The silence filled with brokenness
Fills the air...
With restless; sleepless nights
That never seem to end...
Interconnected...
With traumatic events
With the dark night of the soul
In the horror - mix...
Shadowed by a multitude
Of brutal scenarios...
And in the thick of it all...
The betrayal happens
During the peak of my crisis...
Piercing my innermost being...
Shattering my spirit...
Tearing my heart apart...
And wounding my emotions
With an unexpected agonising blow!

The unconscionable deceit
Plotted against my rise...
During that crucible period
Had me tapping
Into my inner - resilience...
To choose calm over panic...
This was my turning point
Of bend - but not break...
Wherein I forcefully
Took control of my peace!

With spiritual maturity
And penetrating insight...
I traded emptiness...
For Divine Love...
These incremental steps led me...
Out of a soul - destroying experience
Toward total recovery...
And what truly mattered
From that point on...
Is my sweet connection...
'With The Highest Power Above! '

Those trying decades
Has birthed me...
Into a more courageous 'ME...'
I am now seasoned and refined
For that spiritual upgrade...
'To walk in the fullness...
Of God's Calling...
In perfect alignment...
With Divine Orchestration! '

Surviving the gauntlet
I have reclaimed my true essence...
As I walk in the light of the truth
With my integrity needing no defence
Although it's a merry - go - round
Of never - ending issues...
I stand unshaken...
In the eye of the storm!
