It has been a long time
Since I have written a rhyme
Though the heart still beats
I still suffer many defeats
Ravaged by fear and pain
Having nothing from life to gain
Hopes and dreams just fade
A mask of joy I masquerade
A soul that is broken apart
Can never go back to start
From harsh words that cut deeply
To acts of deceit that shattered me
Treated like a worthless pawn
Playing a sick game until I’m gone
My feelings forced to endure
Lies, cruelty forever more
No! I will never bend
I refuse to face a bitter end
They cannot break my will
Look as I rise still
My heart fights on
With a fire that cannot be withdrawn
Strength and passion my ally
Casting off all fears, I fly
