Within Me is a testament to inner strength and stillness amid chaos. A roaring lion, fierce and untamed, rages at the moon while she sits in peaceful meditation, embodying the lesson that true power comes not from control but from surrender. It took searching inward 99 times to find that on the 100th try, the light had been there all along.

Within me

Andrada Leyla

I had to search inwards

At least 99 times

So that on the100th try,

I could finally catch

A glimpse

Of the light

That has been guiding me

For years.

So bright, so bold

Yet, so pure, so soft-

An endless space

A subtle power

That allows me

to feel and heal.

Just me , myself and I -

That’s all I ever needed.

And when I find myself

In the heart of a storm,

When the chaos around me

Threatens to take hold,

I know where to go-

To find calm

To find strength

To find peace.

To find the infinity of love

This place , this power-

Is within me
