Rising From the Ashes

Trapped under the debris Of fallen crumbled mass, Where once stood grand structures Upon my mighty lands. I built painstakingly Over time, patiently, With monumental hopes And glamorous daydreams, To see them get shattered By those violent brawls, Cursed on my sacred grounds, Secretive and sudden. Engulfed in solid blocks, Covered in scary wounds, At last, my fears turn true, The pain, dread, and despair. As I am feeling weak, The fatigue creeps inside And shuts down my conscience, Unleashing that monster, One who perceives no sense, But held tremendous strength That pushes away those chunks And pull me through this plight. Rising from this ordeal And welcomed by chaos That spread across my lands, Fully masked in shambles, Like ancient ruined sites, Lay my efforts worthless And unable to mend. So I have to rebuild, Everything from the start, Relying on my strength, Building sturdy empires, Resilient to all blows.
