The world sleeps in silence
You stand alone like a distant flame
No longer needing voices to find you
Youve learned to call your own name
Not all light is borrowed
Some are lit by broken hands
You walked through your own shadows
To build a place to stand
The light no one sees
Understands the cold of night
It burns not to dazzle
But simply to survive
When you smile in the dark
Thats your brightest state of being
You need no witness
For your heart has done the seeing
