Words written in blood never fade, no matter how many times you paint over them.
Them, she realized, were the reason her heart both ached and soared
Soared above the city, the shadow watched, waiting for the screams to begin.
Begin each day with courage, for every step forward shapes your story
Story crept from the pages, leaving fingerprints of ink and bone.
Bone deep cold crept through the night, yet warmth lingered in their memories
Memories rot slower than flesh, but they smell the same when they finally die.
Die to the past, and you might finally learn how to truly live
Live through this night, and you’ll understand why some never wake.
Wake to the world with open eyes, for every moment holds a new beginning
Beginning seemed bright, until the sun refused to rise again.
Again, she tried, believing that persistence could turn failure into triumph
Triumph came at dawn, dragging the bodies of the night behind it.
It began softly, like a memory returning after a long silence
Silence remembered what the living tried to forget.
Forget the pain, but remember the lessons it quietly left behind
Behind every photograph, a shadow stood where no one should have been.
Been through the storm, she emerged stronger, carrying scars that told her story
Story ended, but the voices kept reading.
Reading opens doors to worlds we could never visit otherwise
Otherwise, the night would’ve been just another sky, not a promise.
Promise me you’ll keep believing, even when the road feels endless
Endless shadows crawl across the ruins of what once was hope.
Hope flickered like a candle in the dark, small but unwavering
Unwavering as the tide, the blood spread slowly across the floor, finding every hollow place to fill.
Fill your days with purpose, and even the quiet moments will shine.
Shine upon the ruins, so the shadows may remember what they destroyed.
Destroyed, yet not defeated—she rose from the ruins stronger than before
Before the sun rose, the blood had already dried on the doorstep.
doorstep lays a letter, carrying the weight of everything left unsaid
