In the shadows where trauma lies,

A heart wrestles with the weight of defeat.

Collapse is the silent scream,

A world fracturing into shards of anxiety,

Fragments of a once-whole self, scattered and lost.

Alone in the void, dissociation grips tight,

A barrier against the onslaught of feeling.

Yet within the depths of despair,

Strength begins its quiet whisper,

A seed of courage taking root.

Surviving is the anthem of the weary soul,

An echo of battles fought in the silence.

Through the haze, healing finds its way,

Gently mending the pieces,

One breath, one heartbeat at a time.

Resilience rises, a phoenix from the ash,

In the realm where darkness once held reign.

The journey from collapse to wholeness,

A testament to the indomitable spirit,

The heart’s unwavering fight to heal and thrive.
