unbroken spirit

"The waves crash, the wind shrieks in pain, Yet, rooted, we stand, a defiant refrain, Unbroken by trials, unbent by strife, A testament to inner strength, a flicker of life. Like twisted iron, our souls are forged, Tempered by fire, our hearts are gorged, On darkness and pain, we are made strong, Our roots dig deep, where shadows belong. The tempest howls, a mournful sigh, As we stand firm, against the darkening sky, Our spirits battered, but still aflame, Guiding us through life's treacherous, troubled frame. Our roots are resilience, our roots are might, Nourished by struggle, through endless night, A wellspring of strength, in every test, A beacon of hope, in life's darkest quest."
