Themes: Change, Contemporary, Misfortune, Reality
Length: 30 Seconds

A contemporary setting with minimal props. The speaker stands amidst scattered remnants of broken dreams—symbolic items like a torn photograph or a cracked mirror.

Life isn’t the dream I once thought it to be. Reality hits hard, and change is its cruel messenger. Misfortune weaves through my days like an unwelcome guest, turning every joy into shadow. Yet, within this storm, I find a strange strength. Acceptance of this harsh truth brings a new kind of clarity. I can’t control the winds of change, but I can steer my ship through them. I will rise above the wreckage, not as a victim of fate, but as a master of my own destiny.
