STILL A
LIGHT.

I’ve walked through nights that felt endless
Days that barely moved
Carried more than I could handle
Still I made it through

Some things broke without a warning
Some stayed longer than they should
But I’m still standing in the morning
Still breathing, still good

I don’t need a perfect answer
I don’t need to know it all

There’s still a light when the road gets narrow
Still a fire that won’t burn out
I don’t know where tomorrow takes me
But I know I’m here right now
I’ve seen the dark, I’ve felt the weight
Still I choose to stay
There’s still a light
There’s still a way

I don’t measure life in victories
Or in things I lost
I count the moments I kept going
No matter the cost

I’ve learned that hope doesn’t shout
It doesn’t rush or run
It waits quietly in the background
Till the night is done

I don’t chase what’s gone forever
I don’t fear what’s ahead

There’s still a light when the sky feels heavy
Still a reason to move on
I don’t need to see the whole picture
Just enough to reach the dawn
I’ve bent, I’ve cracked, but I didn’t break
That’s a choice I made
There’s still a light
There’s still a way

I don’t need saving
I don’t need proof
I’ve lived enough
To know the truth

Hope isn’t loud
Hope doesn’t beg
It stands up quietly
And takes the next step

There’s still a light in the quiet moments
When no one’s watching me
I don’t ask life for guarantees
Just space to be
If the road keeps changing shape
I’ll meet it as I am
There’s still a light
In my hands

Not everything ends in shadows
Not every door stays closed
I’m still here
And that’s enough to hope
