Warrior

walking alone, taking deep breaths
surrounded by darkness, fearing each step.
her heart grips around every heartbeat,
she hears an inner voice bringing shivers down to her feet

and that's just the start to a fearful girl's life.
has she forgotton who she has by her side?
yet she forgets and shes afraid , she struggles every step
afraid to walk alone, afraid everywhere she turns.

the nights getting colder, where will she go
her hopes getting weaker, no one sees or knows
shes crying inside and smiling in return
holding in her tears, she cant let it burn
crushed and broken she still holds on alright
words unspoken, she shines lyk a knight
with every pain in every heartbeat
standing tall through every defeat
crushed, wordless, emotions just flow on
everywhere, everyday like a never ending song
hope,love,friendship...lust?
happiness,sadness,family...trust?
whats left, what's left to lose?
where to go,what to choose?
every situation,another defeat
loosing what she loves, what a repeat
trying to figure her way, her destiny out
physicially ,moving forward,where's her emotional way out.
she just wants to be a warrior,to fight through it all
a warrior who stands up tall, holds on tight and lifts herself up in every fall.
