Defy the odds
Abandoned i stood, grief my only companion
Darkness enveloped me, light my only hope
Concealing my anguish, I smiled without emotion
Though lament, i mingled without passion
A masked face, hiding its feels
A lifeless man, robbed of his existence
Sparkling eyes, holding their wail
Mysterious aura, brought no avail.
Heart ripped n ashed, eyes devoid of sight
Solitary on the battlefield, inert in the cold night
Death laughed, my enemies rejoiced
My blood became stale, my tears dry.
Longing to define myself once more,
Craving for happiness that would once again grow.
Around me lingered the breath that blew my dreams,
Scars that spoke bravery, bid farewell to my soul.
I closed my eyes and breathed again,
I have to dream once more, gotta kill the pain.
Defeat I shall never accept,
A battle I once fought, a battle I swear to win again.
Now, a warrior I stand, victory my companion,
The stars embody me, each ray of light my sweet hope,
My eyes twinkle, I stand against the wind.
The game is on, the battle is forever mine.
