The Unyielding Blaze: A Testimony of Perseverance
Mawphniang Napoleon 1993 (Ri Bhoi)
My world is one of fire, a scorching inferno,
That consumes all in its path, leaving naught but ash,
And yet, I stand tall, unyielding, not forgo
The fight against the flames, for I know I must.
My cranial cage, a prison for my mind,
Leads to bleeding in my encephalon,
A constant ache, a reminder of my bind,
But still I stand, for I am not one to shun.
The battles that I face, the trials I endure,
Are but a small price to pay, for they shape me,
Into the person I was meant to be, pure,
And strong, a fighter, a lover of my fate.
I will thrive, yes I will, for I am alive,
And as long as I am breathing, I will strive.
I will paint this blank canvass of my existence,
A masterpiece, a work of art, a true expression,
Of all that I am, and all that I can be,
A story to mend other broken lives, a key.
So don't listen to me, just wait, for my actions,
Will surprise you, for I am not one to be passive,
I will take control, and make my mark, a fraction
Of a world that is dark, but I will make it radiant.
So here I stand, my world in flames, my mind in pain,
But still I fight, for I am not one to wane.
And as the embers die down, and the smoke clears,
I will be standing there, with my head held high,
For I am a fighter, a lover of my fate,
And I will not let the fire consume my light.
My existence is a story, a tale to be told,
Of a person who fought, and never lost their way,
Who stood up against the darkness, and never grew old,
Who never gave in, and never gave up, come what may.
And as my story unfolds, I hope it will inspire,
Others to fight, to love their fate, and never tire,
To take control of their lives, and make their mark,
To paint their canvass with beauty, and leave a stark.
For we are all fighters, lovers of our fate,
And as long as we are breathing, it is never too late.
So let us stand tall, unyielding, not forgo,
The fight against the flames, for we know we must,
And as we paint this blank canvass of our existence,
Let us make it beautiful, and mend broken lives, a trust.
And when our final breath is taken, and our time is done,
Let our legacy live on, in the stories we've spun,
For we are not just a body, or a mind in pain,
But a soul, a spirit, that will never wane.
Our existence is a song, a symphony, a dance,
A work of art, a masterpiece, a true expression,
Of all that we are, and all that we can be,
A story that will inspire, and mend broken lives, a key.
So let us not be afraid, of the fire and the pain,
For they are just a part, of the journey we must take,
And as we stand tall, and fight, and love our fate,
We will leave behind a legacy, that will never break.
For we are fighters, lovers of our fate,
And as long as we are breathing, it is never too late.
So let us paint this blank canvass of our existence,
With beauty, and love, and inspiration,
And make it a story, that will mend broken lives,
And leave behind a legacy, that will always thrive.
And as the winds of time blow, and memories fade,
Our story will remain, a beacon of hope,
For generations to come, a tale to be told,
Of a person who fought, and never lost their way.
And when they look upon our masterpiece, our art,
They will see the beauty, and feel the inspiration,
And know that they too, are fighters, lovers of their fate,
And that as long as they are breathing, it is never too late.
For our existence is not just a physical plane,
But a journey, a path, a quest for meaning,
And as we paint this blank canvass of our lives,
We will find our purpose, and our true being.
So let us stand tall, and fight, and love our fate,
And make our existence, a story that will always resonate.
For we are not just bodies, or minds in pain,
We are souls, spirits, that will never wane,
And as we paint this blank canvass of our existence,
We will leave behind a legacy, of beauty, love, and inspiration.
