Rise and Fall

Will you try again?

Why waste your time now if you messed it up then?

If you’ve already failed, where’s the reason to try?

Your path is set, and you’re forced to comply.

The world may have whispered that you’re not enough,

Each step seemed jagged; each path too rough.

Yet still you breathe, still your spirit insists—

Life has more songs than the silence you missed.

Remember the mornings when hope felt so small?

When doom loomed ahead and doubt built a wall?

Even when fear and dread knocked you out of place,

Hope whispered softly through cold empty space.

Mistakes were your teachers; untaught lessons in disguise.

The threads of your past— binding ripped ties.

You’ve known despair, the stabbing pain of regret;

But courage lives quietly, waiting— unset.

You’ve fallen before— but falling is key,

It teaches the heart how resilient it can be.

So lift your eyes— let the fear slip away,

For clean slates are born in the light of today.

Will you try again?

You are the artist, the story, the pen.

Your wings may be torn, but not destroyed.

Even now, you fill that void.
