Alation

Solitude

  Akin to the eagle, head held high, 

She flew prevailing, without a sigh. 

Scavengers were enthralled, 

They knew not, her strength came from her many falls. 

Her heart was locked away, in a dungeon dark and cold, 

She seldom visited it, at that threshold. 

  Pain for her was synonymous to breathing, 

Never could it manage to reduce her to screaming. 

Life had taught her, early on

If she stayed quite, she would be walked on. 

She refused to live in a golden cage, 

It only served to fuel her rage. 

She was told, her nemesis would be her solitude, 

She proved them wrong and showed it would only help her protrude. 

She would never settle for the shackles destiny created, 

She would fight, she would claw and rest only when destiny's plans lay truncated.
