Aria

She hid herself away from the world
Feeling too weak to go on
What she didn't realize
Was that she had wings so strong
A heart so mighty
Vision so clear

Until the night she went to the river
And drowned her demons, below it
And cast her blood to the waves

She was reborn at that moment

In one mighty rush
Her wings spread around her
Lifting her up

And she was free

Her heart lit up
With a blaze so fierce
It melted the chains that bound it

And she loved herself

Her eyes were opened
The light from them, pure
Showing her a path to her future

And she reached for it..
Grasping it..
Embracing it..

For it was hers.
Her legacy

Nevermore to be shadowed in blood.

But ripe
For the loving
And the seeing
And the living
