I was just a boy when the storm hit,
Back in 2009<\/strong>, my world split.
I lost both parents in the blink of an eye,
And from that moment, I had to learn to survive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first, I thought family would be my shield,
But then came 2010<\/strong>, and reality was revealed.
My own sister, the one I called home,
Turned her back, left me all alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At that point, I felt like I had nothing left,
Yet somehow, I had to take the next step.
One door had closed, but another was near,
Because even in darkness, hope can appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s when Edison<\/strong> stepped into my life,
Although we shared only a father, he stood by my side.
He didn\u2019t have much, but he gave what he could,
And for the first time, I felt understood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, life was tough, the road was steep,
But through every struggle, I refused to weep.
Then, just when I thought I had reached my end,
Compassion knocked, like a long-lost friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through their kindness, I found my way,
With every lesson, I saw a brighter day.
Little by little, step by step,
I climbed from nothing to more than I dreamt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward, and now I stand,
Not as a victim, but as a man.
From zero to hero<\/strong>, I tell my tale,
Because no storm can make my spirit frail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if you ever feel lost in the fight,
Remember, pain doesn\u2019t mean the end is in sight.<\/strong>
Every trial, every tear, every fall,
Is just a steppingstone, after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From grass to grace, from dust to destination,<\/strong>
God turns struggles into a strong foundation.
Keep moving, keep trusting, keep pressing on,
Because after the night, the sun will be born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
