Rising From The Ashes! Poem by Sanji-Paul Arvind

I fell and crashed, a million pieces spread,
Broken into pieces, feeling lost and dead.
It's a story of failures & pain I have known,
During broken moments, I found strength of my own.

My journey had heartbreak, wounds deep and wide,
Yet from the shadows, I learned to rise & glide.
With each heavy breath, I lit my own fire,
A spark that grew brighter, lifting me higher.

Many times I slipped, lost in the dark,
The light felt so far, like a distant spark.
But every broken piece, though painful and sore,
Became a part of me, making me more.

I found my own strength to let my courage grow,
Climbing from darkness and letting my light show.
Each struggle taught me, each fall made me wise,
In the mess, I thrived, learning to rise.

I don't want your pity, I don't need a hand,
Just walk beside me, together we'll stand.
Love me as I am, in my beautiful mess,
You'll see the fire in me, burning bright, no less.

Magic in my spirit, passion in my heart,
Nothing can take away this beautiful art.
Though life may knock me down, I'll fight every day,
You can't keep me down as I always find my way.

So stand with me closely, or step aside,
I have dreams to chase, a wild heart to guide.
Like free-spirited creatures, I was born to fly,
These wings are my own and I'll reach for the sky.

Love me as I deserve or let me be free,
You'll never hold me down as I'm meant to be me.
With every new challenge, I'll embrace what's unknown,
In this process of life, I have finally grown.
