Fly

Fly

A silent wind blows once again

Fallen tear droplets reflect where your heart has been

Attacks from all side both friend and kin

Pursuing pleasure for yourself made out to be a sin

Spreading your ripped wings as the chains hold tighter

A vicious cycle of loneliness and rejection is what made you a fighter

Emotions dragged through hell

Pain forced you into a protective shell

Your life dreams balanced on an uneven scale

But you must remember

Within your scars/is beauty

Within your hatred/ is passion

Within your humiliation/ is change

Within your sorrow/is healing

Within your reflection/ a warrior

Within your doubt/ is hope

No matter how many times the sun disappears

No matter where your strength has gone

No matter how badly you’re paralyzed by your fears

No matter what lies beyond the dawn

Whether the world wants you to move forward

While you have no direction to lean toward

Despite being hurt

Despite your blood-soaked shirt

Despite being alone

Despite having no home

Even while afraid

Even if love has decayed

Even in helpless times

Even against heartless crimes

Raise your head

Shake of your past mistakes for they are dead

Shatter your binds

Ignore all others with closed minds

Crush your fears

For it is only the lost that stare

Overcome yourself

The future is full of wealth

Embrace your flaws

From them sharpen your broken claws

Sever your past

Release your happiness from its iron cast

Reach for the never ending sky

And Fly
