Walking Away Stronger

A cycle of poems «When Your Love Turns to Ashes»

Cracked pavement under weary feet
Another goodbye echoing in the street
Head hung low, shadows long and deep
Trying hard promises I couldn't keep

But with every tear that falls like rain
Washing over the hurt and the pain
A resilience blooms, a quiet fight
Walking away stronger, into the light

Used to crumble at the slightest blow
Let the whispers tell me where to go
Lost my voice in the crowded room
Letting fear define my coming doom

But with every tear that falls like rain
Washing over the hurt and the pain
A resilience blooms, a quiet fight
Walking away stronger, into the light

The scars I carry, a map of how I've grown
Each broken piece, a seed that's been sown
No longer bound by what held me down
I'm building bridges out of shaky ground

And with every tear that falls like rain
Washing over the hurt and the pain
A resilience blooms, a quiet fight
Walking away stronger, into the light

Stronger, yeah, I'm walking away stronger
Leaving the wreckage in the dust no longer
Stronger, finding my own refrain
Walking away stronger, again and again.
