I’ll rise up

In the depths of misery, I find my pain,

Alone I wander, lost in fear’s domain.

The past haunts me, a ghostly shadow cast,

But in this darkness, hopelessness won’t last.

Through tear-stained eyes, I see a glimmer of light,

A beacon of hope, shining through the night.

Though the road is long, and the journey tough,

I’ll rise above, for I am strong enough.

With every step, I’ll conquer my fears,

Embrace the future, wipe away the tears.

No longer bound by the chains of the past,

I’ll find my peace, and make this pain my last.

So let the world see, my spirit unbroken,

For in this battle, I am not forsaken.

Though life may be tough, and trials may test,

I’ll rise above, and be my very best.

Written in response to today’s word of the day, which is miserable.
