A Bleak In the Forest

Once in a while you realize you are worthy
An ocean of emptiness I conquered
A transcendental mind as gift
Why am I still barren?

Cruelty grows everyday within my realm
Nemesis hid my life in the fine print
I search for hidden knowledge
All in the name of weakness

I want the praise and the love
The pleasures and riches of this world
But a voice of a woman echoes in my soul
A voice that whispers the spoils and loss
A calling I forget as my days lessen 

Someday, you'll be the star you know you are...
