Gilded Souls

Every challenge you face will change you... Do not let it break you.

Let these times forge you,
Adorn you,
Create you,
Decorate you...
Do not let them desecrate you.

Wrap yourself in blankets of iron,
Warm yourself up and melt,
Become one with lessons learned.
All of the time you have spent wounded,
and every time you have been burned,
grow and push through.
Let these times strengthen you.

You are a weapon,
Sharpened and welded anew,
Wield this force well,
Use it to protect the ones around you.

Know that you are powerful
and your blade can protect as well as cut...
You may need to get up and fight,
Defend the ones who help you feel light. .

It will take time to forge this new strength,
Time to strengthen your blade...
Use this time to collect new materials,
To make something "Well-made"

I hope to hear your steel clash,
to succeed and rise again...
It may cause a few gashes,
and It will take time to mend. 

Show them your power,
Your fire,
Your steel. 
Show the world your gilded soul,
after it has had its time to heal.
