The Candle
by Anila Bukhari
Like a candle, I consumed myself,
To give light to others.
My tears fell silently as wax,
Yet my flame never wavered.
The Rose
by Anila Bukhari
Among thorns I learned to bloom,
Each petal a story of resilience.
The gardener sees only beauty,
Not the struggles underneath.
Inner Light
by Girls Shine Collective
We are candles in the dark,
Roses growing through the stone.
Our light and beauty intertwined,
Together we are never alone.
