Badges of the Broken

In silence thick with aching doubt,
Where whispers drown the hopeful shout,
A fire burns, though dim and small—

A strength that rises through the fall.

It hides in tears we dare not show,
In battles no one else will know,
In every breath when fear is near,

Yet forward steps defy the fear.

Not in the ease or gentle days,
But in the storm’s relentless haze,
We find a power, fierce and true—

The kind that scars, then carries through.

Each broken piece, a badge worn proud,
Each stumble lifts us from the crowd,
And though the world may see the pain,

It’s in the fight we learn our purpose

So when you’re lost and all feels tight,
When shadows steal the edge of light,
Remember this: you’re not too small—
For strength hides where we nearly fall. 

🖤 In struggle, we become unbreakable.
