To Forge a Path Through Fire

It is time you acknowledged your strength.
For you have pushed forward
where others would not have;
for you have journeyed
where others wouldn't dare.

It is time you acknowledged your power.
For you have risen from the ashes
when others would not have;
for you have shone a light for others
while feeling mired in the dark.

It is time you acknowledged your courage.
For you have chosen to face your monsters
where others would hide from them;
for you have embraced the weight of your sorrows
where others would wage war against them.

It is time you acknowledged your light.
For you have done what others feel they cannot.
It is time you acknowledged your wisdom.
For you have forged a path through the fire
with the power of your words.
It is time you acknowledged your grace.
For you have done what others hope for
but daren't dream.
