In her dark moments, she stands alone,
Haunted by shadows she can’t disown.
The weight of the world upon her chest,
Her mind a battleground, never at rest.
Pain and sorrow, like a heavy cloak,
Wrap around her, suffocating her hope.
Tears fall like rain in the dead of night,
Her heartache too deep, her soul taking flight.
But within the darkness, a flicker of light,
A whisper of courage, fighting the night.
She may be battered, she may be broken,
But within her heart, a strength unspoken.
Through the storm, she finds her way,
Guided by the stars, leading the way.
Her dark moments will not define,
For within her lies a light that shines.
So let her darkness be her strength,
Her struggles a testament to her faith.
In her dark moments, she will rise,
A phoenix from the ashes, claiming her prize.
Belated Happy International Women’s Day to all Women.
