i've finally been graced
with courage
i relentlessly
searched for
immediately
obtaining control

as i gazed into
a regurgitated puddle of lies
reflecting
the suffering
endured by my souls heart
struggling
to produce love
held hostage
under untruthful
fabrications
spit from the mouth
of a deprived
squire
starving to be seen
in the limelight
that has faded
to dishwater blonde
angering the ignorance more

so i hid everything
from all
striving the buried smiles
to slowly shine
so i patiently persisted
pain promising
to prevail the past
to pack up
and leave

i then wiped misery's mist
from every shard of the mirror
anxiously awaiting to see me
for me

i'm now strong enough
to defend my beliefs
with honor
shining
from armor worn
to battle
the pestering past
i let go of

unaware of the grudge
fed with fury
imprisoned
with one desire
taunting and tormenting
sin
incarcerated
in a cell
of...

unbreakable mirrors
replaying the day
i abandoned the crowd of
demons and amputated
my tail
using it
to rip out my hollow horns

then i slammed the door of deception
on the way out
locking it and
destroying
the key

i stand in awe
as i witness the dissipating streaks
clear a fresh view
of myself
staring back at me with the look
whispering

"there you are"
