"Rising from Despair"
Lisa’s heart bore heavy chains,
Bound by sorrow, lost in pains.
Addiction’s grip, a whispered call,
Her spirit trapped within its thrall,
And hope seemed faint, her light too small.
But strength awoke within her core,
A courage fierce like waves to shore.
She took a step through rehab’s doors,
In search of life, a path restored,
A chance to be the self she wore.
Through therapy, she found her voice,
The power to rebuild her choice.
Each day a journey, fierce and bright,
Through darkness deep, toward the light,
A healing flame, a steady might.
Her heart grew strong, her spirit free,
With every step toward destiny.
Her life rebuilt, her soul renewed,
A tapestry of courage sewn,
A heart reborn, a spirit grown.
Today she stands with eyes of grace,
In healing’s arms, a sacred place.
Her story shines, a path to see,
For those ensnared, for lives unfree,
A journey told, a victory.
