Someone

by impureevilregal

I was no one, but then the truth was made clear. I was finally someone a pawn no longer.

I used to be so confused
I never knew what I could really do.
Each day was aimless,
following the will of others.
I tried to be good because they said so.
I went back to the darkness because they said so.
I tried to please everyone
so I pleased no one.
Aimless. Pointless. Worthless.

But then, like the eye of a storm it suddenly made sense to me.
I saw everything for what it really was.
And I hated it even more.
The anger that weighed me down
grew even stronger and I couldn't even move.
For I realized what I was the entire time.
I was a pawn, disguised as a queen.
I thought that I was important and not to be lost
but I was wrong.
I was a pawn.
Nothing. Weak. Worthless.

And like that rage so long ago,
that tore away an entire world
I became a fierce storm.
Unstoppable. Unbeatable. Unbreakable.
Like a pawn moves across a board and becomes a queen
so I moved across the board and became who I was meant to be.
Strong. Someone. Important.

And then it came to completion,
and in my wake was a trail of destruction.
Nothing was left untouched
I was truly a force to be reckoned with.
And it happened because it was made clear.
It happened because I learned who I truly was.
In the end the truth was something easy to read.
Clear. Transparent. Breakable.

I was finally someone.
