Some nights, I lie awake,
not in peace, but in pieces.
I gave my everything to some,
Wearing a mask of smile on my face,,
I fought battles not meant for my innocence,
I begged, I cried, I tried…and kept doing,
But how long can a soul survive in silence?

This isn’t the life I dreamed of.
It was meant to hold, not hurt.
But here I am, bruised by words,
And torn by coldness,
Still trying to stay strong,
Still hoping God is watching.

I am not a failure.
I am just a woman who’s simple yet strong,
Who stayed too long hoping things would change.
But sometimes, letting go isn’t giving up.
It’s choosing to live.
To breathe again.
To smile without fear.

Dear God…
I leave it all in Your hands now.
If there is a road to peace, show it to me.
If there’s still something left for me in this world, guide it my way.
I don’t ask for much, just strength,
to walk away from what doesn’t belong to me,
And the courage to walk toward what heals me.

Let my wounds become wings.
Let my pain find it’s purpose.
And please, God…🙏
Let life be kind towards me.
