In shadows cast by pain’s relentless grip,

On this day, a solemn anniversary I equip,

I rise, a phoenix, with strength and might,

To reclaim my power, to reclaim my light.

Though sorrow’s weight rests upon my soul,

I stand, unyielding, to reclaim control,

For within me lies a flame, fierce and true,

A spirit that refuses to be subdued.

In the echoes of darkness, I find my voice,

A testament to resilience, a powerful choice,

I paint my scars with colors of defiance,

Transforming agony into vibrant resilience.

No longer defined by the torment I’ve known,

I emerge, a warrior, standing on my own,

With every step, I reclaim my worth,

A testament to the strength found in rebirth.

On this anniversary, I choose to thrive,

To honor my spirit, to keep my soul alive,

For I am more than the pain I have borne,

I am a survivor, resilient and adorned.

So, as I stand in my power, I proclaim,

That I am not defined by the past’s cruel game,

I rise above, embracing a new dawn,

A symbol of hope, forever carrying on.
