The Day You Stayed

In the quiet shadows where echoes play, 
A whisper blooms in the breaking day. 
If no one’s told you, let me say, 
Thank you for choosing to stay. 

You stood on the edge where shadows linger, 
Grasping hope with trembling fingers. 
The world felt heavy, a storm untamed, 
But your light was brighter than you claimed. 

The night was dark, like a blanket of stars, 
But you chose to heal your hidden scars. 
In your chest, a phoenix sparked anew, 
For the world is a little brighter with you. 

In the mirror's gaze, you saw your worth, 
A soul born anew from the earth. 
If no one’s told you this today, 
Thank you for staying when skies were gray. 

The world is better with you in it, 
With every breath, a new beginning. 
The storms you faced, now a distant shore, 
You’ve opened new doors, forevermore. 

In your heart lies a world untold, 
A story of courage, brave and bold. 
If no one’s told you, let me say, 
Thank you for choosing life that day.
