I have been bent
by storms I didn't see coming,
pushed to edges
I didn't know existed.

There were days
when everI carried
threatened to shatter me-
grief doubt,the weight of silence.

But I did not break.

Not because I am made of steel,
but because I learned to bend
without giving in.

I learned that strength
doesn't always roar.
Sometimes
it simply means standing up
one more time
after falling.

I am unbreakable
not because nothing hurts me,
but because nothing
can take me away
from who I am becoming.
