We often stumble upon lessons that make us stronger.

Voices are kept in deepest wounds

As tons of emotions coiled no tune

Words are crushed in shadowed song

As hearts wrapped by million thorns

Beneath the ground secrets are made

For above the earth the love unveiled

Thus tomorrow comes no longer fear

As promise of hope conquers silent screams.
