From Darkness to Light By Dr Mrittika Mal | Self Help Inspiration Poetry

Ten long years, I walked through the night, No stars above, no path in sight. Each step was heavy, heart full of pain, A storm inside; the coldest rain| I lost my voice, I lost my way, The world grew dim, so far, so grey. But deep within, a whisper stirred, A flame unbroken, a silent word| I fought through shadows, learned to stand, I shaped my life with trembling hands. Slowly, gently, I reached for the skies, Wiped the sorrow from my eyes| Today I rise — reborn, anew, Under the sun, beneath the blue skies. On this birthday, I dance, I sing, For life has crowned me with its spring| The past was dark, but now I see, Those years were the roots that strengthened me. No longer broken, no longer small, I rise with joy; I rise with all| The road ahead shines gold and wide, With every breath, I bloom inside From here, it’s only going to grow and soar, A life of light, forevermore||| Dr. Mrittika Mal is a visionary in holistic wellness, passionately devoted to aligning the body, mind, and sou...
