the musings of a wallflower

survivor's anthem

"oh i'm a survivor. my whole life has been surviving."

survivor's anthem

cloth slipped, my soul was showing

the faces around me were laughing and roaring.

but this was a war which i had to win

if only i had the strength to begin.

my walls were broken down by stones

and left me standing on my own.

a desperate hand gave me luck

as thunder blazed and lightning struck.

crazed eyes followed my every move

and I lay barren, without love.

but only those who stood strong and free

lit my path and made me believe

for does lady luck ever give in

unless we are haunted by sin?

ghouls of the past and witches of the present

and trolls of the future are ever present

biding their time and hatching their plots,

leaving us to wither and rot.

but i am a survivor and i will not bow

to these demons of then and now.

i shall stand free and tall

and place all my faith in my god.

and as the peace will envelop me

a final, satisfied sigh I shall heave

for i have fought to be free.
