This Life is Mine, a rwby fanfic

This life is Mine. My favorite RWBY Song. Today it is my catalyst. I have achieved my dream, something I've wanted for years. I am still scared and terrified, but I am going to fight that fear the only way I know how. Write!

Mirror, can you hear me?

Do I reach you?

Are you even listening?

Can I get through?

There's a part of me that desperate for changes

Tired of being weak for so long

But there's a part of me that stares back

From inside the mirror

Part of me, that's scared I might be wrong

That I can't be strong

I've been afraid

Never standing on my own

I let you be the keeper of my pride

Believed you when you told me

My independence wasn't true

Listen when I say

I swear it here today

I will not surrender

This life is Mine!

Amazing how you conquered me

Chained me in servility

And made me see

The world the way you told me too

But I was young and didn't have

A way to know the truth

Fear and instability

In a soul that's already weak

A casualty

Of this so-called sanity

That you have turned into a travesty

But I don't intend to suffer any longer

Here is where my story shall start

I'm shattering illusion

That I am a prisoner

That tormented my mind and my heart

This is where fear falls apart

I'm not a kid

Not something to protect

I was always meant to grow

Your discipline and consequences can't hold me anymore

I won't be possessed

Burdened by a foolish test

I will not surrender; this life is mine

Shame that it took so long

To rescue me

From the shame you used to tie me

To my past history

I no longer need to fear

For at last I'm free

Your hateful words of spite won't hold me!

Now this conversations finally over

Mirror mirror, now we're done!

I've pulled myself together now, my mind and heart are one!
