I'm not who I was, I've weathered the storm,
I've changed through the fire, reshaped every form.
I've carried the weight of betrayal and loss,
And learned that my peace comes at a cost.
...
You don't need to know the plan,
Just take today with open hand.
Not every step will feel secure,
But trust in Him—His love is sure.
...
I've learned that plans may fall apart,
That dreams can crack a tender heart.
That not all wounds will mend with time,
And not all wrongs will turn to rhyme.
...
God never asked you to know the way,
Just to trust Him day by day.
Not to map the winding road,
But to walk beneath His load.
...
Some hearts shine not from ease, but ache,
From battles fought, from bonds that break.
They've tasted cold, been left unheard,
Yet choose to heal with every word.
