In life, we are tested many a time. Be it in terms of career, finances, romances and every other possible area! It is during these times that our heart, mind, and soul need to be the strongest.

I wrote this poem when I was 14- and felt like the world around me was crumbling into bits. Today, five years later when I scroll through the notes on my phone and find this, it still relinquishes this "ray of hope" within me ( yes, deep, I know.)

I hope you, too read this poem and know that everything you're going through is only making you stronger!

Remember- every wound and every scar gets you one step closer to being a Masterpiece in your own life!

Wounds in my soul

Scars in my heart, They almost made me

Tear apart

They tried so hard

To break me,

Made me forget how to laugh

They tried so hard to

Shake me

Thought my strength wouldn't last

They tried to snatch all my securities

Make me sad and dull again

They tried a lot and forced me

Hoping I would Change

But, What they didn't know was that I was like A phoenix;

rising from its ash

They didn't know what I was made of

My strengths and qualities

.My honesty and kindness,

And my self-belief.
These wounds and scars

Tried to ruin me,

Break my inner strength, But little did they know, I was a fire, Burning from within.

wounds in my soul, scars in my heart,

You have made me

A work of art.
