Rise
I stand admist the divide,
Between heaven and hell,
Time stood still ,
Emotions i could no longer feel..
Long have i struggled , to find true purpose,
To earn my place in this troubled world,
I walk the path of a great destiny foretold,
Only to be disappointed , finding fool's gold,
Feelings of sorrow burden my soul,
The agony of defeat takes its toll,
As i put up my hands in surrender , abandoning all goals..
I remember the voices of my loved ones,
and the courage they instilled , to face whatever comes
Life is often riddled with hardships , do not fear,
Our existence is a gift bestowed by the gods,
And a challenging one it is,
So persevere with all your might,
Rise up from defeat and never lose your fight.
