Innocent soul, barely old enough to crawl, Thrust into a world that demanded you run. It wasn't your fault, how were you to know? The weight of survival, before life had begun.
Scars formed keloids, raised reminders of pain, A map of survival etched into your skin. Yet beneath those marks, a spirit unbroken, A flame of resilience burning within.
Ancestors whispered, they chose you, they said, To carry the burden, to break ancient chains. But why you? Did you deserve such a fate? To shoulder the weight of generational pains?
No shoulders to lean on, no refuge in sight, Through swamps of despair, you fought to survive. Each step a battle, each breath a small victory, In a world that seemed determined to see you not thrive.
But listen, dear warrior, hear this truth: Your pain wasn't deserved, your struggles not earned. You were chosen not for suffering, but for strength, For the power within you, too long unlearned.
Those chains you carry, they're not yours to bear, But yours to shatter, to break, and transcend. The ancestors chose you not to suffer, But to rise, to heal, to fight, and to mend.
So forge ahead through the swamps of your past, Let each step be a testament to your might. For in breaking these chains, you're setting us free, Turning generational darkness into light.
