Strength in Grief
Despair overtakes me,
sending me spiraling.
Unbelievable grief
stand between me and certainty.
Stinging regret
is all I can think of.
She sacrificed herself,
leaving me in a chaotic world.
Tears threaten to escape,
yet I hold them in.
Strength will become my ally,
and my grief will be the catalyst.
I look into the distance
and see the city burning.
I head away from the chaos
in search of a solution.
With friends by my side,
I can't help but smile,
no matter how sad it may look.
Unbidden by fate,
I swear I will make
a difference for her.
The enemies will pay,
and I swear some day
that justice will be mine.
For strength will lead me,
and my grief will spur it on.
Each lesson that I learned,
because of her,
will stay with me forever.
I will use each strike
to make it right
and end this injustice.
She sacrificed herself,
and left me in hell,
but it gave me courage.
If she can do that,
then I will fight back,
and all will be made right.
Strength will hold me up,
and my grief will help me stand,
for it is she who gave me both.
