I see the light 

Through the ups and downs I see

A bright light before me

A light that beckons me to follow

It is there no matter how far I have fallen

It is there no matter where I go

I know it will still exist

This light is there

Even as I fall

Into the depths of hell

Under the tides of the sea

Under the covers at night

With my eyes closed tight

I can still see the light

Break the silence 

Sometimes I think that I am beaten 

Sometimes I think that I am done 

That is when I stop and remember 

Everything that you have done 

These actions drive me forward 

These memories that you made 

You were the one I trusted 

My life was in your hands 

Everything I did to make you proud of me 

Everything I did I wanted you to see 

I was your daughter 

I was the one you were supposed to protect 

Instead all you did was lie to me 

Confuse me with truths mixed with lies 

Until all I wanted was to escape you 

Everything I have done 

Is a result of what you did 

Everything I do 

Is a fight to beat you

You are the reason I am who I am 

Yet you are the reason I still breathe 

You are the reason I stand

Well dear father someday you will see

What you created 

What you made 

Someday you will see 

That you will never beat me 

I may be bruised 

My bones may break 

I may wake up everyday and suffer 

From eternal heartache 

But when all is lost I see what you have done 

This is what drives me forward 

This is what makes me carry on 

I will fight for those born to suffer 

What you have put me through 

I will fight through the pain 

I will fight because I have no choice 

There was no turning back when I broke the silence 

There was no turning back when I used my voice

I see the sun

The cage is opened 

I have stepped through

You unlocked the door

I owe my life to you  

You gave me the freedom to keep fighting 

The strength to push past the door 

The strength to pick myself up

To find who I was before 

I will never forget what you have done 

Because of you my life has begun 

The dawn has come 

Now I see the sun 

Nyx

Echo in my mind 

There is an echo in my mind 

It’s pulled from space and surpasses time 

It tells me that I have a purpose in my life 

It tells me that I am not alone in my strife 

My battle between the darkness and the light 

Is one fought by many each day and each night 

Keep fighting for happiness and love my friends 

That’s all that really matters in the end 

Nyx

The light has dawned again

The light has dawned again

A new day has come

I hate that I am reminded sometimes where I come from

Once again I bring myself out of that dark place

Once again I stand up and look past that face

Leave me alone darkness

I swear you will never win

Stay where you belong… live your own life of sin

Shades of grey 

I dream in black and white

I dream in shades of grey

I let anger course through my veins

But sometimes certain words aren’t kind to say

I have a heart filled with love…not with hate

But sometimes anger pushes forward…but before it’s too late…I find myself again

The world is not so black and white

The world is not in shades of grey

The world is full of color

That shines with every passing day
