Become the Warrior
Thoughts shattered are
memories fading
Nostalgic is the feeling
Yet they hold us back
There's an emptiness that
becomes nothingness
silent yet loud it overwhelms
Breathe in then Breathe out
Let the air feed your
soul and mind
Allow life's breath to
fill your empty lungs
once again let a new life
be resurrected from the old
with fresh memories
Do away with those dragons
that burned you as they flew
by without a second glance
Let the beasts find another
soul to rip apart they knew
the damage they caused
Let a sun rise on a reborn heart
as it's rays warm your being
Let the monsters stay under
your bed and don't fear what
goes bump in the night
the fear only feeds them
Take back your power
Become your own knight
Unsheathe your own sword
The warrior is within you
save yourself don't be the
damsel in distress
Only you can regain what
was lost to you
Smooth the wrinkles in time
Take back what was
taken from you
You're no longer a victim
Surviving gave you strength
Become the Warrior
