Tomorrow Breaks First Light

I’ve seen the end more than once

Not in fire, not in war

But in silence

In forgetting what I’m made of

In believing the lie that I’m too late

But light doesn’t beg to be seen

It waits…

And I wait with it

Somewhere between ending…

And becoming

Every wound I thought was final

Became a seed beneath the skin

And from that soil of pain and pressure

Something fierce began to spin

Tomorrow breaks first light

Doesn’t ask if you’re ready to fight

It just shines

And if you’re breathing

Then you’re still in it

You’re not done — not tonight

Tomorrow breaks first light

For the ones who held through night

It burns through every doubt

Pulls the fire from within and shouts:

You’re not broken, just tried

You’re not lost, you just survived

So rise again — ignite

Tomorrow breaks first light

Tomorrow breaks first light

For the quiet ones who fight

For the voices never heard

For the dreamers crushed by words

For the ones who still believe

In something they’ve yet to see

For the wounded — not in flight

But standing tall in spite

Whispered last line:

And still… we rise
