"Rising from Nothing" (The Lion Who Refused to Fade)

Image
Introduction :  This poem, "Rising from Nothing (The Lion Who Refused to Fade)," is a powerful anthem of resilience and self-empowerment. It tells the story of rising above rejection, doubt, and hardship to become a symbol of strength and hope. Inspired by the spirit of the Barbary lion and the courage within all of us, it is a tribute to anyone who has ever been overlooked or underestimated. Join me on this journey of transformation and courage as we celebrate the roar of a lion who refuses to be silenced. "Rising from Nothing" (The Lion Who Refused to Fade) Who am I? The one they laughed at loud, The one they said was useless, not proud. Ignored, forgotten, left in the dust, But now I’m everything — I’ll never rust. Once I was known as nothing at all, But now I stand proud, steady and tall. So tell me now, who do you see here? I’m the one who wipes away your tear. I’m the one who makes you laugh, not cry, The Barbary lion who won’t just die. I’m the one who refuse...

"Still Alive, Still Rising" (Don’t let them break you)

Introduction : “Still Alive, Still Rising” is a fierce declaration of resilience against judgment and hate. This poem stands up to critics with unshakable confidence, reminding us that no matter how loud the world gets, staying true to yourself is the highest victory.   "Still Alive, Still Rising"  (Don’t let them break you) They call me the bad guy, the antagonist of their world, But I don’t care—I don’t follow the herd. Everyone’s got a demon inside their dreams, Maybe I’m the one behind their nightmare screams. I’ve dealt with these haters since I became aware, From childhood scars to now—critics still stare. It hurt a lot back then, and yeah, it still stings, But I live by my truth, not the noise you bring. It’s normal, I guess, to paint others in black, To blame someone else when you’re under attack. But what do I see when I look at them all? Just haters afraid that I’ll never fall. Maybe it’s jealousy, maybe it’s fear, Maybe they just hate seeing me near. They want to h...
