The poem captures the emotional journey of self-acceptance and healing. It conveys how each experience, scar, and doubt shapes identity, blending moments of vulnerability and strength.

The poem celebrates living fully—embracing both joys and sorrows—and affirms a sense of wholeness and hope as the essence of being

# I am my song #

When morning opens my eyes,
I gather my scattered dreams—
Some radiant hope, some shadows of fear.
Each one reminds me I am here.

The mirror shows the flaws I hide,
A map of scars beneath my eyes.
Each mark, each line, a story untold,
A quiet bloom, healing as it unfolds.

“Who am I?” the questions cry,
Thunder in my restless mind.
Yet light lingers behind each storm,
A gentle calm I am learning to form.

I stand, I breathe, I let it be—
All the broken pieces, all they’ve shown.
Through silent nights and endless roads,
Through tears that fall and laughter that glows.

Let this heart be open, wide, and alive,
Embracing loss, embracing love, embracing life.
For every shadow has its place,
Every wound leads to a softer grace.

So I rise—whole and unafraid,
With every breath, with every step made.
I am my song, my light, my fight —
Complete, in shadow and in light.
