I should avert the care, and just be brave,
The quiet strength within I should unseal the edge,
Hence even in darkness I will crawl out of the cave,
Perhaps I won't be to much for my age,

I will illuminate this echo of fear,
This night, this soul that is fright,
And the strength within gentle and fair,
I will unleash it with might,
I won't sob for it, failure is rare,
So this quick noise with flaming plight—

Like a radiant light amidst the sky,
Like a void, echoing through the night,

Perhaps I should conceal my scourge ,
At this very tender age,
I offer succour to my beloved ones in order to sustain.

In solitude I'd ponder and roam,
Where shadows whispered secrets unknown.

I surmount in resilience
Still hoping to try my best,
A radiant glow that shines,
A glimmer of faith awaits.

But most hopeful
Standing tall
With every steps, it grows more bold,
My heart desires a dream to unfold.
