A Labyrinth Of Demons

Memorize all the demons you’ve beaten 
creating the bold lines of your tattoo;
Don’t ever let yourself be downtrodden,
let the glass be seen as half full in lieu; 

Life’s a labyrinth you carefully work it,
making your way from corner to corner;
Possessing infinitely more than grit,
no longer seen as the rank amateur;

Do you see it girl how you leveled up?!
Shining from the inside, all that desire!
Finding a dead end is just a hiccup
for the power of a raging wildfire;

Look in the mirror be your own hero,
just remember how you stood toe to toe.
