Obstacles

/ Nyx / 17 Comments

With every obstacle that I face

I know there will be another

To take its place

It does not matter

Let them come

As long as I am still breathing

I will not stop

Until I have won

Resilience 

/ Nyx / 4 Comments

I walk forward 

Not looking back

Trusting in my instincts 

Finding my resolve 

Every day I fight 

Every day I see 

The resilience that is there 

Built up inside of me 

There is no certainty 

In this life 

This I know is true 

The only thing I do know 

Is that you have to believe in you

I will not rest 

/ Nyx / 3 Comments

Here comes another piece of metal 

Thrown my way 

I raise my shield 

Getting angrier every day 

I will bring justice 

I have no choice 

I do not have a sword 

But I have my mind 

Underestimate me 

Then you will see 

Your fate is sealed 

I will strip your life away 

A little more every day 

You will know what real pain is 

When you feel the fear that justice brings 

I will see it in your eyes 

I will smell it too

When one fears nothing 

They can smell it on you 

I swear to you I will fight 

With everything I have 

With everything that is left of me 

I will bring all of you down 

You will pay for what you have done 

I will not rest until I have won

Your end 

/ Nyx / 11 Comments

I raise my head higher

Never looking down 

My goal is to stay this predator that I am 

In my empire I will stand 

Without doubt, anger, or fear 

My enemies will quiver when I am near 

If you face me you will lose 

In the end I always win 

Play your hand my friend 

It will be your end

When peace finds me 

/ Nyx / 11 Comments

I am so hardened 

By this life 

I walk this world 

A wanderer 

Letting fate lead the way

Always knowing what to say 

I feel my feet grow weary 

I feel my jaw burn 

I feel myself changing 

That is when I turn 

Into a lion 

So patient and still

This is when peace finds me 

This is when I find my will

I see the light 

/ Nyx / 7 Comments

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

I’m a dreamer 

/ Nyx / 8 Comments

With the ups and downs I see

Hills and mountains laid out before me

Here and there I find a path 

Here and there I find a stream 

Every now and then a valley 

Like a story book from a dream

I cherish these moments 

They are rare 

When I suffer I take myself there 

To my valley

By the stream 

Where the grass is high 

Where the water is blue 

In this place I feel 

Like I am home 

In this place I feel 

That there is nothing 

That I cannot overcome

Break the silence 

/ Nyx / 10 Comments

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 rise 

/ Nyx / 10 Comments

Once again I rise with hope in my heart 

That today will be better than yesterday 

That I will not fall into despair 

That I will not long for sleep 

That I will not pray for peace 

I may be lost 

I may be broken 

I may have lost the words to say 

Words I have already spoken 

Yet I am still here 

I am still here breathing 

I am still here fighting 

I have risen again my friend 

I will fight until I exhale my last breath 

I will fight until there is nothing left

Strength 

/ Nyx / 9 Comments

I wake up with renewed strength 

I do not know how I feel this way 

I do not know how I find the will 

To wake up and carry on 

But somehow this is what I do 

Day after day 

I wake up and I move 

Hoping this day will be better than the last
