Equinox
Wars raging in the minds of the tired and forlorn,
The wings we have, crafted by lighter mantras,
Fighting the weight of those attached to us, dark dogmas,
Stretched by them, in pain, hopeless, and torn,
The strength to carry on, but heavy hearts pulling us dissimilar directions from our happiness,
A world of wonder, yet only to be explored by one, only breaks being the lonely quiet rests,
I thought I had someone to view this place of beauty with once,
Though she tore at me, the feeling of wholeness kept me together,
I tried to help, to bring her here, but in the end, she cast me about with the rest of the runts,
I see now that she wasn't another half, but a poison to keep my pain forever,
So as hard as it is, I put my faith in those I can trust, though my head says I shouldn't,
And I hold up my worth and confidence that I have, even though my head says I couldn't,
I’ll work through the loathing and nightmares to find the me I lost so long ago,
Replace the wellspring of hatred with jubilation and caring, defeat the foe,
I’d said I’d be there for the people who needed me, yet I forced them to carry me,
It’s time to repay the debt, prove them and myself right,
I may see the best in everyone, but it in myself, I can’t see,
But they’ve already shown me, time and time again, so I’ll fight through the darkest night,
Although the specter may never leave, for he is a part of me, I am not a part of him,
For he brings me to Equinox.
