Self Portrait Poem

A world shatters beneath my feet
And fire burns through every vein.
Darkness blocks my means of sight
And everything I touch is pain.

Still I choose a spark within,
A hope that cannot be denied.
I channel fire to form new light
And walk on air or learn to fly.

Each interconnection shared in life
Reshapes my past to growth through time,
Exposing wings I’ve always owned.
I mark this hope to leave behind

Where the world shatters and touch is pain
For everyone who feels alone.
