Dreary and bleak
Weary feet walking desolate lands
Miles of deserted plains and empty streets
It all looks the same
Icy cold is this existence
Wallowing in seas of shame and torment
Viciously engulfed in agonizing visions
Ceaselessly yearning for the end
A dire circumstance
Circling around the fires of regret
Plunged into the depths of the inferno
Even Dante wouldn't dare
An unexpected happenstance
From the ashes, you rise again
Velcro the shattered pieces and carry on
Even Icarus couldn't bare
Out of the abyss,
A flightless bird emerge
Charcoaled skin, shedding fear
Climbing ever higher
A Morningstar on the horizon
with faith strapped to its core
Miles of hardships and ire
disappear in the blink of an eye
Waking up to a new dawn
waking up to a new life
Rising to brand new hightes
soldiering through it all with a smile
