Strength

In the quiet corners of her soul,
lies a darkness she can't break through.
Her cries echo off of empty walls,
a tearful song that no one else can hear.

Happiness once cherished, a forgotten ghost,
its silent shadow her constant companion.
The weight of betrayal, of stolen innocence,
hidden behind an artificial smile.

Then he appears, with kindness and light,
sensing the fractures beneath her facade.
A reassuring hand, steady, unwavering.
An angel's heart to heal her broken soul,
their crossing paths a gift from the universe.

A new chapter, a rebirth.
Through him she finds strength in moments of weakness.
Not in grand gestures or hollow words,
but in simple acts of kindness and understanding,
the quiet constancy of friendship's gentle presence.

Working side-by-side, through laughter and tears,
she learns that courage isn't fearlessness,
but leaning on someone when the world feels uncertain.
She discovers strength in her vulnerability,
and a new dawn emerges.

She finds the courage to walk out of the darkness,
his friendship a gentle reminder that sometimes,
in the darkest of nights,
the most beautiful stars appear.
