When the darkness tries to swallow you whole,

Remember, beneath that veil is your shining soul

Like a phoenix from the ashes,

You will rise again, stronger and sharper than a blade.

Hold onto yourself, embrace your flaws and fears,

For they make you human, they make you dear.

No one else is quite like you, no one else can shine your light,

Love yourself fiercely, relentlessly, and tonight.

You're worthy of a love that's deep and true,

So never let anyone, least of all you, tell you otherwise.
