Though the depth of despair lays bare your soul

There’s a beauty to your willingness to be broken

your openness to overcome is breathtaking

A mystery I’ll always try to understand

the warmth of your sun shines through

thawing the icy cold

I see the whole world in your eyes

your struggle giving you an inner strength

that is unexplainable

refusing to fall

You are a vessel of hope

Giving us strength

teaching us all monsters want the same thing:

destruction…

never let them take over

You are more than the despondency within

You are the light that guides me home
