Walls of despair close in Yet the heart refuses silence Among ashes and broken names A spark insists on purpose
Not pleasure, not power But a question carved in pain Why endure another dawn If not to keep what holds meaning?
Chains cannot claim the soul Nor hunger erase the will In the shadow of cruelty A choice still survives
To suffer with dignity To bear the fire without breaking To find in every wound The seed of becoming
Faces vanish into the void But the gaze holds memory A freedom no tyrant steals The right to choose one’s stance
Even when stripped of all Meaning whispers through the silence And in the weight of the night Purpose becomes salvation
To suffer with dignity To bear the fire without breaking To find in every wound The seed of becoming
To suffer with dignity To bear the fire without breaking To find in every wound The seed of becoming When the world collapses Meaning is not destroyed It rises, quiet yet unshaken A vow carried within
