I’ve learned to see the light
in every small corner of the day.
The rays dancing on the floor,
the wind whispering that I’m alive.

I no longer search for answers in the distance,
but in this moment,
where my heart beats the loudest.
I find myself in a child’s laughter,
in the song of birds unafraid to soar.

Once, I thought happiness was something to earn,
but now I know it’s already here,
in every breath,
in every step taken with courage.

I’m pieces of a greater whole,
but each piece shines.
And even if the road still holds shadows,
my light is enough to chase them away.
