Why am I here?
Why did I decide to be alone when the wind and the trees and the moon wants to come along?
They were here to be of help—so i can somehow breathe and witness a ray of light.
But I don’t want them in this fight.
My body craves for the full bloom of darkness inside.
You know why I like to endure this moment of total black?
So I get to teach myself to never fear the dark.
To feel each sting the sharp objects bring,
to embrace the pain that in my bones have remained.
I never hated the idea of hurting,
’cause they push me to be growing
to a woman of strength, I’m becoming..
a woman of resilience and grit.
I need to be all by myself—
so I get to converse with them voices within,
to understand the purpose of this storm I’m in,
not bothering no one, not confiding to a friend.
Because in times like this,
I need to crack a code to surpass the test.
And I’m supposed to find that code,
by marrying myself with this sword—
a weapon I can use to “unfear” the unknown,
to destroy the naysayer’s voice,
to never stop believin’ in my soul.
Why am I here?
Because life sometimes sucks yet I have to take it all in.
It’s for the better, it’s a surreal win.

You are just naturally poetic. Juliet used a knife, not a sword, so you couldn’t have copied that line. “Oh Happy Dagger. This be thy sheath. There rust, and let me die…”
