Beneath the Surface
In the crucible of shattered dreams
Where failures echo like a haunting scream
You gather pieces of your broken self
And forge them into the steel of resilience
Success is not the absence of pain
But the echo of every scar that remains
Each struggle's a thread in the fabric we wear
A testament to the battles we've fought, the fires we've faced
Sacrifice is the price we pay
The weight of what we leave behind
But on the other side of the night
Lives a dawn that's been worth the fight
Nothing comes free, no joy's without cost
The peaks are reached by the steps we've lost
The good that comes is born of the pain
A phoenix rising, where the shadows remain
Quote:
The depth of your struggle is the breadth of your wings.
